Abstract
The International Solar Polar Mission, which is expected to revolutionize the solar physics field, is scheduled for the mid‐1980s. From this dual spacecraft mission, scientists hope to learn more about changes in solar conditions that cause variations in the earth's climate. The mission will seek new data on many of the solar phenomena that shape and control the space environment of the earth, such as solar wind flow and cosmic rays.No spacecraft has yet ventured off the ecliptic plane by more than 15° in heliographic latitude. But the Solar Polar Mission, jointly projected by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), and also known as the Out‐of‐the‐Ecliptic Mission, will put a pair of unmanned spacecraft both above and below the sun and the ecliptic plane.
