Main Objectives
- Characterize the 3D magnetic structure of the Sun and Heliosphere during solar activity minima and periods of interest
to the extended heliophysics community.
- Follow the evolution and effects of the Sun’s radiative output, magnetic field and outflowing solar wind plasma
as they interact with the background heliosphere and with the magnetospheres and atmospheres of the Earth and other Planets.
- Compare solar minima conditions and investigate how periods of extremely low solar activity affect the geospace and other
planetary space environments.
- Embrace latest advances in data collection, management, analysis, and communication and set the stage for the next
generation of collaborative Heliophysics System Observatory research.
- Combine remote and in-situ data, with computer models and predictions, to provide a comprehensive view of the interconnected
sun-heliospheric-planetary system.
