NASA, and other international solar physicists, will launch a sounding rocket Solar Eruption Integral Field Spectrograph (SNIFS) experiment from New Mexico.
Its sounding rocket is designed to break new ground to probe the most complex region of the solar atmosphere, the chromosphere.
SNIFS is the first ultraviolet integral field spectrograph flown to study the Sun.
The chromosphere is a thin, reddish layer between the Sun’s visible surface (photosphere) and its million-degree corona.
It hosts solar flares, plasma jets, and intense energy flows.
