Nicholas Thomas, Wayne Baumgartner, Adam Kobelski (ST13), Stephen Cheney (ES-23), and C. Grant Davis (St12/UAH) hosted and participated in the successful calibration of the SmallSat Solar Activity X-ray Imager (SSAXI) at the Marshall 100-Meter X-ray Beamline/Stray Light Test Facility. SSAXI is designed to fly onboard the High-Resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C) sounding rocket mission from Poker Flat, Alaska in the Spring of 2024. SSAXI will spatially resolve soft X-rays from a solar flare at high time cadence to better understand energy release and transport processes involved during quasi-periodic pulsations. Members of SSAXI’s team from the Center for Astrophysics- Harvard & Smithsonian: Suzanne Romaine, Jae Sub Hong, and Sophia Sanches-Maes, traveled to MSFC to take part in all calibration
