Hisaki (aka SPRINT-A, for Spectroscopic Planet Observatory for Recognition of Interaction of Atmosphere) was a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency space extreme ultraviolet telescope launched in 2013. It completed its initial one year primary mission, then operated until December 2023, and now remains retired in orbit. Its instrument is EXCEED (Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscope aka Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscope for Exospheric Dynamics). It was used for solar system science observations, studying the solar wind and its effect on planetary atmospheres.
