BackForwardInstrument:  IMAP-Hi 

Instrument details
Acronym IMAP-Hi
Full name IMAP high energy neutral atoms
Purpose To detect high energetic neutral atoms of the outer heliosphere.
Short description IMAP-Hi consists of two identical, single-pixel high energy ENA Imagers that measure H, He, and heavier ENAs from the outer heliosphere for the energy range 0.4-15.6 keV
Background Has heritage from IBEX-Hi
Scanning Technique Viewing using a pivot platform from widely separated vantage points (across >180 deg in ecliptic longitude)
Resolution
Coverage / Cycle Resolves the evolution of ENA fluxes down to six-month timescales.
