Hinode
======
Hinode (`formerly known as Solar-B`_) is a joint mission between the space agencies of Japan, United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom.
The spacecraft carries three instruments: the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS), and the X-Ray Telescope (XRT). These
instruments are designed to provide multi-wavelength data from the photosphere to the upper corona. The 875-kg spacecraft was launched on September 23, 2006, into a polar,
sun-synchronous orbit, enabling continuous observations of the Sun. Further information can be found at `NASA's Hinode space mission to the Sun`_.
