| Abstract: | The Hinode satellite (formerly Solar-B) of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS/JAXA) was successfully launched
in September 2006. As the successor to the Yohkoh mission, it aims to understand how magnetic energy gets transferred from the photosphere to the upper atmosphere and results
in explosive energy releases. Hinode is an observatory style mission, with all the instruments being designed and built to work together to address the science
aims. There are three instruments onboard: the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS), and the
X-Ray Telescope (XRT). This paper provides an overview of the mission, detailing the satellite, the scientific payload, and
operations. It will conclude with discussions on how the international science community can participate in the analysis of
the mission data.
