Space solar missions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2010
Abstract
In the frame of Symposium 264 which concerns Solar and Stellar Variability we address the space solar missions devoted to the various aspects of solar activity. We describe them in three time categories: missions ready for launch, missions which will operate in the 2012-2015 time frame and ambitious missions to be launched after 2015. We focus on the contributions of these missions according to the following criteria: Understanding mechanisms of activity, Improving detection and characterisation, Working out some prediction. Major activity contributors and manifestations are addressed: Coronal Mass Ejections, Flares, Solar winds, Magnetism (including dynamo), Irradiance.
