Solar magnetic research project

International aviation agencies are planning to study solar magnetic fields in an area that is extremely difficult to observe called chromosomes.

International experts want to study the sun's chromosphere

According to a statement from NASA, the research mission from the solar outpost (SUMI) will start on July 5. This is the result of a partnership between the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), the European Space Agency and the Japan Space Exploration Agency.

Although there is still a magnetic magnetic field measuring instrument, this mission aims to carefully observe the magnetic field in each layer on the sun's surface.

To measure the magnetic fields in the chromosphere, the second layer of three solar layers, 2,000 kilometers thick, only observed during the total solar eclipse, SUMI will monitor ultraviolet light emitted from two intact forms. elements have on the sun, magnesium 2 and carbon 4.

According to NASA, missiles carrying equipment will be launched from White Sands beach in New Mexico (USA) to a height of about 200 to 300km, enough to "harvest" 5 minutes of data.

Depending on the success of the launch and the subsequent missions, experts will have the final conclusion on the project of placing observation satellites on orbit around the sun.
