Post-launch Support for UK continued involvement in the Japanese Hinode Mission

日野号是ISAS/JAXA于2006年9月发射的航天器。该任务是日本/美国/英国研究太阳的任务。日野的设计是为了回答一个基本的问题，即磁场是如何形成的，并与大气相互作用，从而产生我们在太阳上观察到的活动。这随后解决了所有对太阳-地球系统有影响的现象，如太阳风的形成（包括慢的和快的），耀斑和日冕物质抛射的触发，以及细丝和日珥的形成和维持。在任务的头两年里，日野号非常成功地完成了所有的任务要求。事实上，哈勃望远镜在第二年的发表率远远超过了哈勃望远镜在同一时期的发表率。这一提议是为了让英国在操作、校准、数据存档和社区支持EUV成像光谱仪方面继续参与这项任务。

Hinode is an ISAS/JAXA spacecraft that was launched in September 2006. The mission is a Japan/US/UK mission that studies the Sun. Hinode is designed to answer the fundamental question of how magnetic fields are formed and interact with the atmosphere to create the activity that we observe on the Sun. This subsequently addresses all phenomena that have an impact on the Sun-Earth system, such as the formation of the solar winds (both slow and fast), triggering of flares and coronal mass ejections, and formation and maintenance of filaments and prominences. Hinode has been extremely successful fulfilling all of its mission requirements in the first 2 years of the mission. Indeed the publication rate in the second year of operation far exceeds that of Hubble during the same time period. This proposal is for continued involvement of the UK in the mission in terms of operating, calibrating, data archive and community support for the EUV Imaging Spectrometer.
