The Sun Radio Interferometer Space Exoeriment (SunRISE) 

The Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE) will provide an entirely new view on particle acceleration and transport in the inner heliosphere by creating the first dedicated low radio frequency interferometer in space to localize heliospheric radio emissions. By localizing decametric-hectometric (DH, 0.1 MHz–23 MHz) solar radio bursts, SunRISE will provide key information on particle acceleration mechanisms associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and the magnetic field topology from active regions into interplanetary space. The SunRISE Observatory will consist of six Space Vehicles in a passive formation, in orbits designed to keep them within approximately 10 km of each other, and flying in a supersynchronous orbit, about 400 km or more above geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO). In this talk I will provide an overview and updates of the SunRISE mission.
