The Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE) mission will help scientists understand the processes driving the heating of the Sun’s corona and the eruptions in that outermost region that are at the foundation of space weather.
The mission will offer deeper insight into the physics of the solar atmosphere by using a powerful instrument known as a multi-slit spectrometer to observe the Sun’s extreme ultraviolet radiation and obtain the highest resolution images ever captured of the solar transition region and the corona.
The mission is led by NASA and its launch is targeted in 2027.
