The Solar
Probe Mission will fly through the solar corona, which will help
interpret observations made from SOHO. The fundamental science
investigated will include the investigation of the heating mechanism
for the solar corona and acceleration of the solar wind, the source of
the solar wind in the corona, understanding the role that turbulence
plays in the coronal heating processes and what are the characteristics
of the structure in the polar regions. The payload includes a plasma
spectrometer, visible magnetograph, and a UV spectrometer.
