SIRA, the Solar Imaging Radio Array, will be a constellation of about 16 microsats designed to image radio sources in the solar corona and heliosphere using aperture synthesis techniques. Using crossed dipoles and high dynamic range radio receivers, SIRA will observe solar radio emissions in the frequency range from ~15 MHz to ~30 kHz. These frequencies correspond to distances of 2 R_sun to 1 AU. Frequency spacing and time resolution will be optimized for solar burst analysis. The quasi-spherical constellation (diameter 25-50 km) will provide appropriate baselines for angular resolution of ~10 arcsec at 15 MHz . Several orbit possibilities are currently under consideration. Rapid data processing for space weather prediction of CME arrival at 1 AU is a major goal. It is anticipated that this mission will be proposed for the next NASA MIDEX opportunity.
