RHESSI Image Map.
The RHESSI mission consists of a single spin-stabilized spacecraft in a low-altitude orbit inclined 38 degrees to the Earth’s equator. The only instrument on board is an Germaniun imaging spectrometer with the ability to obtain high fidelity solar images in X rays (down to 3 keV) to gamma rays (1 MeV).
RHESSI provides an angular resolution of 2 arcseconds at X-ray energies below ~40 keV, 7 arcseconds to 400 keV, and 36 arcseconds for gamma-ray lines and continuum above 1 MeV.
RHESSI was launched on 5 February 2002.
