HENON is a technology demonstration mission that will place a CubeSat in deep space, in a distant retrograde orbit of the Sun-Earth system. From this orbit, it will pass 0.1 au upstream of Earth, and provide a platform for the early warning of severe space weather conditions. 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is contributing instrumentation to the HENON payload to measure the interplanetary magnetic field, and is part of the science team.
Mission Summary
As part of HENON, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø will deliver a miniaturized magnetometer instrument, MAGIC, that builds on the success of the RadCube project.
