CORONAS programme

Complex Orbital Observations Near-Earth of Activity of the Sun, or CORONAS, was a Russian Solar observation satellite programme. Three satellites were launched: CORONAS-I, CORONAS-F, and CORONAS-Photon.

CORONAS-I

CORONAS-I was launched in 2001 and worked until 2005.[2][3]

The satellites had 16 instrumenents:[2]

  • TEREK-C - Solar XUV Telescope/Coronagraph
  • RES-C - Solar X-ray Spectral Polarimeter

CORONAS-Photon was launched on 30 January 2009, from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, aboard the final flight of the Tsyklon-3 rocket. On 1 December 2009 all scientific instruments on the satellite were turned off due to the problems with power supply that were caused by a design flaw.[4][5] On 18 April 2010 the creators of the satellite announced it was lost "with a good deal of certainty".[6][7]

The satellite had 11 instruments:[8]

  • Natalya-2M-rad - High energy radiation spectrometer - radiation
  • RT-2 - Roentgen Telescope-2
  • Penguin-M - Hard X-ray polarimeter-spectrometer
  • Konus-RF - X-ray and gamma-ray spectrometer
  • BRM - Fast X-ray Monitor
  • PHOKA - Multi-channel ultraviolet monitor
  • TESIS - Telescope-spectrometer for imaging solar spectroscopy in X-rays
  • Electron-M-PESCA - Charged particle analyzer
  • STEP-F - Satellite telescope of electrons and protons
  • Natalya-2M-particles - High energy radiation spectrometer - particles
  • SM-8M Magnetometer
