Russia will launch a new spacecraft to study the Sun - Koronas-Foton (or Coronas-Photon). Launch is scheduled to occur on 29th of jan 2009. This is supposed to be the last launch of a Tsyklon rocket. Once launched Koronas-Photon will be placed into a cirtular orbit 500kms above the Earth. Orbital inclination - 82.5 deg. |

Thank you very much, Z!
 Looks like the Sun is showing signs of coming out of this prolonged minimum, finally.

So great that they are releasing nice images and movies. When Coronas-F imaged an eclipse, images were next to impossible to come by.
