CLASP-2: Investigating the magnetic solar chromosphere

(Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC)) Four years ago, an international team (USA, Japan and Europe) carried out an unprecedented suborbital space experiment called CLASP-1, motivated by theoretical investigations carried out at the IAC by Javier Trujillo Bueno and his research group. After the outstanding success of that mission, a few days ago NASA has launched CLASP-2 from its base close to Las Cruces (USA).
