Solar Terrestrial Relations: Space Missions

Scientific paper

PICARD is an investigation dedicated to the Sun-climate connection. The mission objectives are the study of the solar forcing on the Earth's climate, and the physics of the Sun. It consists of simultaneous measurements of the absolute total and spectral solar irradiance, the diameter and solar shape, and to carry out helioseismologic observations to probe the Sun's interior. These measurements obtained all along the mission will allow to study their variations as a function of the solar activity. The observations will be carried out by three instruments placed on board a microsatellite built by Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (France). Ground-based observations will complement the space observations.
