Normal Incidence Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrograph (NEXUS)

Joseph Davila (PI), NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center

The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), in collaboration with the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the University of California (UCB), and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), proposes a next generation Normal-incidence Extreme-Ultraviolet Spectrograph (NEXUS). NEXUS is designed to observe the fundamental physics responsible for regulating the flow of energy through the chromosphere and corona. The chromosphere/corona is the source region for solar wind. Therefore understanding the energy flow in these regions is essential for predicting solar influences throughout the heliosphere. NEXUS will support the Sun Earth Connection (SEC) program by providing observations relevant for the science objectives identified in the 2003 SEC Roadmap.
