Hisaki, also known as the Spectroscopic Planet Observatory for Recognition of Interaction of Atmosphere (SPRINT-A) is a Japanese ultraviolet astronomy satellite operated by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Hisaki carries an extreme ultraviolet spectrometer which will be used to study the composition of the atmospheres and the behavior of the magnetospheres of the planets of the Solar System.
SPRINT A was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Epsilon | Hisaki (SPRINT-A)’, on board a Epsilon space rocket.
The launch took place on Sept. 14, 2013, 5 a.m. from Mu Center.
