Abstract

Abstract The Chinese Hα Solar Explorer (CHASE) is designed to test a newly developed satellite platform and conduct solar observations. The scientific payload of the satellite is an Hα imaging spectrograph (HIS), which can, for the first time, acquire full-disk spectroscopic solar observations in the Hα waveband. This paper briefly introduces CHASE/HIS including its scientific objectives, technical parameters, scientific application system, etc. The CHASE mission is scheduled to launch in 2021. It will complement the observations by on-orbit solar spacecraft (such as SDO, IRIS, STEREO and PSP), as well as future solar missions of the Solar Orbiter and Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S).
