Description
In March 2024, sounding rockets will be launched in response to a solar flare for the first time. The Hi-C Flare mission will be among the first to take advantage of this new observing campaign, which was instituted by the NASA Sounding Rocket Program Office in response to a 2019 white paper submitted by Winebarger, Glesener, and Reeves. A soft X-Ray radiometer in development at Montana State University is the smallest of three instruments that will fly on Hi-C Flare. We describe the motivation, prospects, and instrumentation for high speed (1 kHz) measurement of soft X-ray (SXR) variability in solar flares.
