Third flight May 2018[edit]

Could add details of subsequent flights, eg third flight May 2018 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)[reply]

Costs and History[edit]

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)[reply]

How is the telescope oriented for observations[edit]

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)[reply]
