Abstract
The International Solar Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) program has coordinated the activities of an armada of spacecraft, ground-based observatories, and theoretical modeling centers. This assemblage represents the first great observatory for space physics, providing both a global, telescopic view of the Sun-Earth system, as well as a magnificent microscopic view of its physical processes. In just two years of coordinated observations, ISTP has already reaped a rich scientific harvest. However, the future holds even more opportunities to pursue a new, profound understanding of the Sun and the Earth and the interplanetary space between them. Continuing the mission through solar maximum (2000-2001) and beyond offers potentially prodigious rewards for a remarkably low cost.
