First Results for Solar Soft X-ray Irradiance Measurements from the Third Generation Miniature X-Ray Solar Spectrometer
Thomas N. Woods, Bennet Schwab, Robert Sewell +11
Three generations of the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) have flown on small satellites with the goal "to explore the energy distribution of soft X-ray (SXR) emissions…
Small Platforms, High Return: The Need to Enhance Investment in Small Satellites for Focused Science, Career Development, and Improved Equity
James Paul Mason, Robert G. Begbie, Maitland Bowen +33
In the next decade, there is an opportunity for very high return on investment of relatively small budgets by elevating the priority of smallsat funding in heliophysics. We've lear…
Helio2024 Science White Paper: Solar and Heliospheric Magnetism in 5D
Alexei A. Pevtsov, T. Woods, V. Martinez-Pillet +9
This White Paper argues for the urgent need for the multi-vantage/multi-point observations of the Sun and the heliosphere in the framework of six (6) key science objectives. We fur…
Simultaneous High Dynamic Range Algorithm, Testing, and Instrument Simulation
James Paul Mason, Daniel B. Seaton, Andrew R. Jones +4
Within an imaging instrument's field of view, there may be many observational targets of interest. Similarly, within a spectrograph's bandpass, there may be many emission lines of…
SunCET: A compact EUV instrument to fill a critical observational gap
James Paul Mason, Phillip C. Chamberlin, Daniel Seaton +16
The Sun Coronal Ejection Tracker (SunCET) is an extreme ultraviolet imager and spectrograph instrument concept for tracking coronal mass ejections through the region where they exp…
CME Acceleration as a Probe of the Coronal Magnetic Field
James Paul Mason, Phillip C. Chamberlin, Thomas N. Woods +5
By 2050, we expect that CME models will accurately describe, and ideally predict, observed solar eruptions and the propagation of the CMEs through the corona. We describe some of t…
MinXSS-2 CubeSat mission overview: Improvements from the successful MinXSS-1 mission
James Paul Mason, Thomas N. Woods, Phillip C. Chamberlin +9
The second Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS-2) CubeSat, which begins its flight in late 2018, builds on the success of MinXSS-1, which flew from 2016-05-16 to 2017-05-06.…
The Instruments and Capabilities of the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSats
Christopher S. Moore, Amir Caspi, Thomas N. Woods +6
The Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSat is the first solar science oriented CubeSat mission flown for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, with the main objective…
MinXSS-1 CubeSat On-Orbit Pointing and Power Performance: The First Flight of the Blue Canyon Technologies XACT 3-axis Attitude Determination and Control System
James Paul Mason, Matt Baumgart, Bryan Rogler +10
The Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) is a 3 Unit (3U) CubeSat designed for a 3-month mission to study solar soft X-ray spectral irradiance. The first of the two flight m…
New Solar Irradiance Measurements from the Miniature X-Ray Solar Spectrometer CubeSat
Thomas N. Woods, Amir Caspi, Phillip C. Chamberlin +9
The goal of the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSat is to explore the energy distribution of soft X-ray (SXR) emissions from the quiescent Sun, active regions, and…
Miniature X-Ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) - A Science-Oriented, University 3U CubeSat
James P. Mason, Thomas N. Woods, Amir Caspi +7
The Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) is a 3-Unit (3U) CubeSat developed at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado, Boulder…
