Starting in 2004, the two identical STEREO spacecraft will drift slowly off the Sun-Earth line, providing a series of differing perspectives on CMEs and other solar and heliospheric structures. At the end of the prime science (2-year) mission, the spacecraft will each be about 45 degrees from Earth, one leading Earth and one trailing. Each spacecraft will carry a cluster of telescopes, including coronagraphs, EUV imagers, and particle detectors. When the images are combined with solar magnetograms and other data from observatories on the ground or in low Earth orbit, both the buildup of magnetic energy and the lift off and trajectory of CMEs can be studied. Interpreting the STEREO data will pose a new challenge to the solar community. We discuss the STEREO mission design, instrument complement and the development of the trajectory design that, we believe, maximizes the scientific potential of the mission.
