Within the Universat program, a set of solar vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) telescopes has been developed for deployment on 6U nanosatellites. Telescopes are designed to get images of the solar corona. The spectral ranges of observations is considered, the characteristics of the nanosatellite from the point of view of the observations feasibility are opmized, the optical scheme of the telescope and VUV multilayer mirrors coatings and thin-film filters are modelled. Keywords: Nanosatellite, VUV, telescope, solar corona.
Pin-hole camera as a soft X-ray solar telescope is presented. The instrument is aimed on imaging of flares in the solar corona with angular resolution up to 40''. It will allow to register temporal profiles of flares and determine spectra in soft X-ray. The telescope consist on pin hole 0.1 mm in diameter in tungsten disk, thin film Al/maylar filter and back illuminated CMOS based 2d detector. The telescope designed for 6 U cubesat. The instrument itself has dimension of about 0.5 U with extended tube from 20 to 50 cm length. Keywords: Pin-hole camera, solar corona, soft X-ray, cubesat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
