This purpose of this nugget is to report on the second successful launch of the FOXSI sounding rocket payload. FOXSI was flown [FOXSI Sucess|once before] on November 2, 2012. This first flight produced the focused images of a microflare in hard x-rays.
Background
FOXSI is a sounding rocket payload whose goal is to develop and apply hard x-ray focusing optics combined with solid-state detectors.
Observations
The Future?
Based on these successes, we are now considering how we would scale up the FOXSI sounding rocket to a satellite mission. Such a mission would allow us.
Conclusions
References
- FOXSI Images
- Official FOXSI webpage
Also we are working on making the data from this flight public so that anyone can take a look and analyze the data.
