The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is the first Living with a Star mission. This talk reports on the results of the mission definition study for SDO. The study assumes a 2006 launch and a cost cap of \250 million dollars. The mission study baseline includes a program that creates coordinated theory groups that attack Scientific Challenges critical to understanding the physics of the Sun from the interior to the interaction with the Earth. The SDO is a geosynchronous satellite that carries instruments that make Dopplergrams, vector magnetograms, images of the atmosphere in a range of visible, UV, and EUV wavelength bands, map the corona from 1.05 to 18 solar radii, and makes precision radiometric measurements over a broad spectral band. SDO carries 12 4096^2$ CCD detectors and has a continuous downlink data rate of 160 megabits per second. All of the SDO data will be available in near real time from a online data archive.
