The Compact Coronagraph-1 (CCOR-1) is a visible-light coronagraph on the GOES-19 spacecraft. CCOR-1 is mounted on the Sun-Pointing Platform and observes the white-light solar corona by using an occulting disk to block direct sunlight from the bright solar disk.
CCOR-1 observes the solar corona over the 480-730 nm wavelength range with a field of view extending approximately from 3.7 to 17 solar radii. The instrument provides white-light images of coronal structures with a spatial resolution of approximately 50 arcseconds and a nominal image cadence of 15 minutes.
CCOR-1 observations are used to detect and characterize coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and other structures in the outer solar corona. The measurements support operational space weather forecasting by providing information on CME occurrence, morphology, propagation, speed, and direction.
