PUNCH-WFI-1, PUNCH-WFI-2, and PUNCH-WFI-3 carry identical Wide Field Imagers (WFI), which are side-looking polarizing heliospheric imagers with planar-corral baffles. Together these three satellites the inner heliosphere observe the inner heliosphere the corona and solar wind over a 90-degree field of view (45 degrees solar elongation).
