Sunrise is a balloon-borne solar telescope with an aperture of 1 m, a project developed in cooperation between institutes in Germany, Spain, and the USA. The main scientific goal of Sunrise is to understand the structure and dynamics of the magnetic field in the atmosphere of the Sun. Sunrise will provide diffraction-limited images of the photosphere and chromosphere with an unpredecented resolution down to 35 km at wavelengths around 200 nm. Focal-plane instruments are a spectrograph/polarimeter, a Fabry-Perot filter magnetograph, and a filter imager. The first long-duration flight of Sunrise over Antarctica is planned in winter 2006/2007.
