Description:
The acronym, HESSI, stnds for the High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager. HESSI is a NASA mission proposed by astrophysicists who study the Sun. Their goal is to learn more about the basic physical processes that occur in solar flares. Teams of astrophysicists and engineers worked together to decide what kinds of observations HESSI would make and what kinds of scientific instrumentation would be required. The HESSI teams will achieve their goal by making "color" pictures of solar flares in X rays and gamma rays. This model is designed to help students understand the operation and objectives of HESSI.
