Oneliner	Imaging the solar corona - including the region that is 10 times the Sun’s angular diameter.
Description	CANYVAL-C mission is aimed at scientific validation of photographing the sun’s corona. This mission is the application of Virtual Telescope technology that uses several discrete satellites as a space telescope. The mission requires development of inertial alignment hold technology, spacecraft formation flying GNC technology and inter-satellite link technology. CANYVAL-C is a subsequent mission of CANYVAL-X, technical experiment mission of virtual telescope, and expects further projects of solar science and X-ray objective science mission. The CANYVAL-C system consists of two CubeSats, ‘PUMBAA’ and ‘TIMON’. PUMBAA, the occulter, is a 2U CubeSat that covers the sun for corona imaging. TIMON, the detector, is an 1U CubeSat that takes a coronagraph with an optical camera.
