199586057Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers 1995. First edition and first printing thus. Reprinted from Solar Physics Volume 162 Nos. 1-2 1995. Hardcover. Very good. xii 531 1 pages. Illustrations some in color. Formulae. References. No dust jacket present. Illustrated front cover. The SOHO Solar and Heliospheric Observatory was a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA to study the Sun from its deep core to the outer corona and the solar wind. To achieve its scientific goals it carried a complement of twelve sophisticated state-of-the-art instruments. Three helioseismology instruments were expected to provide unique data for the study of the structure and dynamics of the solar interior from the very deep core to the outermost layers of the convection zone. A set of five complementary remote sensing instruments consisting of EUV and UV imagers spectrographs and coronagraphs were intended to give the first comprehensive view of the outer solar atmosphere and corona leading to a better understanding of the enigmatic coronal heating and solar wind acceleration processes. Finally three experiments were to complement the remote sensing observations by making in-situ measurement of the composition and energy of the solar wind and charged energetic particles. This volume contains detailed descriptions of all the twelve instruments on board SOHO. Also included are an overview paper and a description of the SOHO ground system science operations and data products. The aim of these papers was to make the broader scientific community and in particular potential guest investigators aware of the scientific objectives and capability of the SOHO payload and to provide a reference document for the various instruments. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory SOHO is a European Space Agency ESA spacecraft built by a European industrial consortium led by Matra Marconi Space now Airbus Defence and Space that was launched on a Lockheed Martin Atlas IIAS launch vehicle on 2 December 1995 to study the Sun. It has also discovered over 4000 comets. It began normal operations in May 1996. It is a joint project between the European Space Agency ESA and NASA. SOHO was part of the International Solar Terrestrial Physics Program ISTP. Originally planned as a two-year mission SOHO continues to operate after over 25 years in space; the mission has been extended until the end of 2025 subject to review and confirmation by ESA's Science Programme Committee. In addition to its scientific mission it is a main source of near-real-time solar data for space weather prediction. Along with Wind Advanced Composition Explorer ACE and Deep Space Climate Observatory DSCOVR SOHO is one of four spacecraft in the vicinity of the Earth–Sun L1 point a point of gravitational balance located approximately 0.99 astronomical unit AU from the Sun and 0.01 AU from the Earth. In addition to its scientific contributions SOHO is distinguished by being the first three-axis-stabilized spacecraft to use its reaction wheels as a kind of virtual gyroscope; the technique was adopted after an on-board emergency in 1998 that nearly resulted in the loss of the spacecraft. The three main scientific objectives of SOHO are: Investigation of the outer layer of the Sun which consists of the chromosphere transition region and the corona. The instruments CDS EIT LASCO SUMER SWAN and UVCS are used for this solar atmosphere remote sensing; Making observations of solar wind and associated phenomena in the vicinity of L1. CELIAS and COSTEP are used for "in situ" solar wind observations and Probing the interior structure of the Sun. GOLF MDI and VIRGO are used for helioseismology. Kluwer Academic Publishers hardcover
