In 1999 the European solar scientific community proposed to ESA the Solar Orbiter (SO), a mission to explore the circumsolar region, to perform quasi helio-synchronous observations, and to obtain the first out-of-ecliptic imaging and spectroscopy of the solar poles and of the equatorial corona. Presently, SO is one of the three missions under study within the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program, and a key ESA-NASA missions within the International Living with a Star Program. SO, to be launched on January 2017, is expected to provide major advances steps forward in understanding the Sun-heliosphere connection.

Abstract
In 1999 the European solar scientific community proposed to ESA the Solar Orbiter (SO), a mission to explore the circumsolar region, to perform quasi helio-synchronous observations, and to obtain the first out-of-ecliptic imaging and spectroscopy of the solar poles and of the equatorial corona. Presently, SO is one of the three missions under study within the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program, and a key ESA-NASA missions within the International Living with a Star Program. SO, to be launched on January 2017, is expected to provide major advances steps forward in understanding the Sun-heliosphere connection.File in questo prodotto:
