Deployment of Solar Orbiter spacecraft,illustration
Deployment of Solar Orbiter spacecraft in Earth orbit,showing the solar array unfolded,illustration. The instrument boom and antennas have not been deployed at this stage. Solar Orbiter (SolO) is a spacecraft under development by the European Space Agency (ESA). It is planned for launch on an Atlas V rocket in February 2020 from Cape Canaveral,Florida,USA,and will then travel to the Sun. At its closest approach in its orbit,it will be around 42 million kilometres from the Sun. The instruments it will carry include the Solar Wind Analyser,the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager,and the Radio and Plasma Wave analyser. Solar Orbiter will study the heliosphere,the bubble created in space by the solar wind. It will be the first satellite to provide close-up views of the Sun's polar regions. It will also attain high speeds,nearly matching the Sun's axial rotation.
