EUVST

Extreme Ultraviolet High-Throughput Spectroscopic Telescope

Type

Space Telescope

Objective

Expand how NASA studies the Sun, space, and Earth as an interconnected system

Target

Sun-Earth Interaction

STATUS

Inactive

After review by NASA, the agency’s contributions to the EUVST (Extreme Ultraviolet High-Throughput Spectroscopic Telescope) instrument were not approved to advance to phase C of development. The team is preserving the engineering work that has been done to date for potential future use.

The EUVST instrument will study the origins of solar activity and how solar wind is propelled from the Sun, creating a key component of space weather. The EUVST instrument is a solar telescope that will be installed on the SOLAR-C satellite, a mission led by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
