The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) is a sounding rocket mission that aims to observe the soft x-ray solar spectrum (0.6 – 2.5 nm) with both spatial and spectral resolution over a substantial field of view. This wavelength range has several high temperature and abundance diagnostics that can be used to assist in diagnosing the coronal heating mechanism. MaGIXS launched from White Sands Missile Range on July 30, 2021 and successfully observed the Sun through a 4’ x 33’ effective slot, producing ``overlappograms’’, where the spatial and spectral information are overlapped and must be unfolded. In this presentation, I will report on the MaGIXS launch and data collection and provide preliminary analysis of MaGIXS data.
