Sounding Rocket Launch

The Hi-C 2.1 instrument was launched as a payload on a Terrier Black Brant out of White Sands, New Mex., on 29 May 2018. (The first flight of this revised instrument (Hi-C 2) experienced a short in the wire that provides power to the camera shutter; therefore, no science images were obtained during that flight.)
