Concept général de la mission

1. Obtenir des résolution spatiales en imagerie 5 fois meilleures qu’auparavant (au périhélie).

1. Observations in-situ de l’Héliosphère interne d’aussi près que 45 rayons solaires (0.21 UA).

1. Observer pour le première fois la surface du soleil ainsi que la couronne à partir d’un point en quasi-corotation avec le soleil.

1. Obtenir des images des régions polaires du Soleil jusqu’à des latitudes de 38° (en fin de mission).

1. Mesures simultanées in-situ et à distance.

Les différentes activités à l’ESA:

• « Assessment Study Report » (J.-L. Bougeret, J.-C. Vial) Juillet 2000.

• Payload Working Groups (N. Vilmer, A. Gabriel, M.

Maksimovic) , version finale en prépa.

• ESTEC « Integrated Science & Payload study », dont une étude industrielle par EADS-Astrium, prés. finale le 29 juin 2004

• « Science Definition Team » (A. Gabriel, L. Klein), version de Déc. 2003, rapport final ?

At the SPC meeting 8 June 2004 :“Solar Orbiter reconfirmed as integral part of Cosmic Vision 2003 – 2013 with a target launch in

Oct 2013 (and no later than May 2015).

The SPC stressed the importance of maintaining a close technological synergy between Solar Orbiter

and Bepi Colombo.”

Réunion du 29 juin 2004 à l’ESTEC

Conclusions de l’Etude EADS-Astrium

• Study demonstrates that 150 kg payload can be achieved– Pending size reduction of remote sensing instruments and key effect on mass & thermal– Thanks to relaxation of resolution to 150 km @ 0.21 AU– Size reduction and mass containment pave the way for the shortest cruise «ESA Flexible» mission

• The main system issue is the management of the data volume– Manageable at spacecraft level– Critical at system level due to space to ground telemetry bottleneck

• Study allows to clearly highlight and recommend– Instruments interfaces for accommodation on spacecraft– Instruments issues resulting from overall system environment

• Study should be seen as a way – To get a common understanding ESA/science team/industry of

• Instruments requirements • Mission, environment constraints

– To better prepare spacecraft and system design• Avoid overdesign• Issue required level of interface information

En résumé: il n’y a pas de « point de blocage » pour la mission
