Talk:High Resolution Coronal Imager

Third flight May 2018
Could add details of subsequent flights, eg third flight May 2018 [https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ab6dcf ''Is the High-Resolution Coronal Imager Resolving Coronal Strands? Results from AR 12712'']. Says also "the second flight was nominal but the instrument suffered from a shutter malfunction such that no data were captured." - Rod57 (talk) 10:19, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Costs and History
Article says first mission cost $5 M. Was this just the suborbital launch and recovery ? or did it include development of the telescope and imager ? - Rod57 (talk) 10:13, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

How is the telescope oriented for observations
3rd flight report says "During the Hi-C 2.1 flight, the instrument experienced a pointing instability ..." What does the payload use to orient the telescope for observations, and how accurate is it ? - Rod57 (talk) 10:22, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
