36.241 GS RABIN/NASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER 11-06-2007

EUNIS science team in front of rocket on the pad36.241 GS Black Brant IX was launched from White Sands Missile Range, NM on November 6, 2007. The Extreme Ultraviolet Normal-Incidence Spectrograph (EUNIS) is designed to study the physical properties of the solar corona by simultaneously observing the two spectral ranges of 17-21 nm and 30-37 nm. 

These wavelength bands overlap those observed with experiments on the SOHO, TRACE, and Solar-B orbiting spacecraft and allow EUNIS to be used to provide in-flight radiometric calibrations for these missions. This was the second flight of the EUNIS instrument. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Douglas Rabin/NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
