Launched on SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket, ‘[Reporter Kang Min-goo from E-Daily] The space telescope jointly developed by Korea and the United States has been successfully launched. It is expected to contribute to uncovering the secrets of the corona, the outermost region of the solar atmosphere, by being mounted on the platform of extravehicular payloads at the International Space Station (ISS).’,
,
, ‘The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute under the Aerospace Administration announced that the solar coronagraph (hereafter referred to as CODEX), developed with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the United States at around 11:29 am on the 5th.’,
,
, ‘It will take approximately a week for CODEX to be installed on the ISS following its launch. CODEX is planned to connect (dock) with the ISS about 13 hours after launch and will be installed on the ISS’s platform for extravehicular payloads (ELC3-3) using a robotic arm. Afterward, CODEX is planned to make observations for up to 55 minutes during a 90-minute orbital period at the ISS.’,
,
, ‘CODEX will produce two-dimensional images by simultaneously measuring temperature and speed, which were previously only observable in a limited way, as well as the formation of the solar corona. It is expected to conduct research aimed at uncovering the secrets of coronal heating and solar wind acceleration, which are considered challenging issues in solar research.’,
,
, ‘The mission operation and control of CODEX will be carried out at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, and the Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute plans to remotely receive and monitor information.’,
