ASO-S Mission: Inflight Performance and First Results

The Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) was launched on October 9, 2022, opening the era of comprehensive solar space observation in China. The mission aims at exploring connections among solar magnetic field, solar flares, and CMEs.

Three instruments are onboard: the Full-disk solar vector MagnetoGraph (FMG), the Lyman-alpha Solar Telescope (LST), and the solar Hard X-ray Imager (HXI). The unique combination of these payloads allows simultaneous observations of vector magnetic field of the full Sun, imaging spectroscopy at high energies of solar flares, formation and evolution of solar flares and CMEs on the disk and in the inner corona.
