Jointly developed by the Space Administration and NASA, the 'Sun Coronograph'...Launched on the 5th of this month.

CODEX, a solar corona observation device jointly developed by Korean and American researchers, will be launched into space on the 5th.

The Korea Aerospace Administration and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute said that the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Sun Coronograph and Codex will launch at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:29 a.m. on the 5th.

The codex will separate from the projectile about 10 minutes after launch, and will dock with the ISS about 13 hours later before being installed on the ISS' external payload platform (ELC3-3) via a robotic arm.

The CODEX installed on the ISS will conduct observations for up to 55 minutes, including simultaneous measurement of temperature and velocity as well as the shape of the solar corona during the 90-minute orbital period.

Codex's mission operations and control will take place at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, where the agency plans to remotely receive and monitor information.
