The Pinhole/Occulter Facility.
Abstract
The Pinhole/Occulter is designed to study the nonthermal phenomena of plasma dynamics in the solar corona. It consists of a long boom, erected from the Shuttle bay or other space platform, separating an X-ray mask/occulting disk from X-ray detectors and coronagraphs. The long separation permits very high angular resolution.
