RHESSI explores the basic physics of particle acceleration and explosive energy release in solar flares. RHESSI images solar flares by capturing energetic photons from x-rays to gamma rays; RHESSI also performs spectroscopy on these captured particles.Launch: February 2002Operating Network: Near Space Network
