SH23A:
Breakthrough Observations of the Sun on Suborbital-Class Platforms I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 61184

Session Description:
Suborbital platforms (sounding rockets, balloons, airplane flights) and suborbital-class CubeSats are used to develop, mature, and test new technologies capable of breakthrough science at a low cost.  A goal of these programs is also to train students and to develop new instrument scientists and leaders.  The dissemination of results from suborbital-class missions is often delayed due to limited budgets/resources and due to the large effort needed to thoroughly understand the groundbreaking instruments and the novel data.  In this session, we provide a platform for scientists to present analyses and results of recent suborbital-class experiments investigating the Sun, including work in progress as well as finished results.  In the spirit of the suborbital program, we will invite younger team members to give invited talks.
