For ESA’s mission #Vigil to forecast dangerous space weather, #mpsgoettingen is providing one of the key instruments: Vigil's Photospheric Magnetic Field Imager. Read more about the instrument and the science we plan to do with it here:

ESA’s Space Probe Vigil to Warn of Solar Storms
The ESA Ministerial Council has now decided on the further roadmap for the Vigil space mission. The space probe is expected to detect and potentially forecast hazardous space weather from 2031 onwards. Vigil observes the Sun from a previously unused observation position. This extends the warning time for solar storms by up to five days. Vigil's Photospheric Field Imager (PMI) is being developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany…

Towards the bottom of the disk, a map is superimposed that is labelled "Sol Australis Incognita". At the bottom right just outside the disk, a space craft has been inserted, and below that centered the words "Season‘s Greetings".
