Everything about Trace totally explained
TRACE (
Transition Region and Coronal Explorer) is a
NASA space telescope designed to investigate the connections between fine-scale magnetic fields and the associated plasma structures on the Sun by providing high resolution images and observation of the
solar photosphere and transition region to the
corona. A main focus of the TRACE instrument is the fine structure of
coronal loops low in the solar atmosphere.
The
satellite was built by
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Its telecope was constructed by a consortium lead by Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Center. TRACE was launched in April 1998 on a Pegasus rocket, has a 30 cm aperture and 1024 x 1024
CCD detector giving an 8.5
arc minute field of view. The telescope is designed to take
correlated images in a range of wavelengths from
visible light, through the
Lyman alpha line to far
ultraviolet. The different wavelength
passbands correspond to
plasma emission temperatures from 4,000 to 4,000,000
K.
TRACE is a
SMEX or Small Explorer mission.
