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)
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)
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)
