Study of short time events in the solar atmosphere with high time resolution.
Distinction between temporal and spatial variations.
Mission:
The STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) mission will provide a totally new perspective on the Sun and its eruptions by imaging from two
nearly identical space-based observatories simultaneously. Its primary goal is to advance the understanding of the 3-dimensional structure of the solar
corona and its temporal evolution, especially regarding coronal mass ejections. The spacecraft carrying four instrument packages was successfully
launched on 25/26 October 2006.
