Abstract The SUN experiment is a UV and visible Space Interferometer aimed at ultra-high resolution in the solar atmosphere. It has been proposed to ESA as part of the SIMURIS Mission Proposal which has recently been accepted for an Assessment Study in the framework of the Space Station. The 4 × 20 cm telescopes of the SUN linear array are non-redundantly placed to cover a 2 m baseline, and the instrument makes full use of stabilized interferometry potential, the 4 telescopes being co-aligned and co-phased on a reference field on the sun. After a brief outline of the scientific objectives, the concept of the instrument is described, and its image reconstruction potential is illustrated.
