Scientific paper

NASA Headquarters has requested a short study of the Solar Probe mission to moderately reduce the cost of the mission and to find a solution that will not necessitate the use of nuclear power. The study will be delivered at the beginning of 2008 and is being conducted with coordinated overlap and in an iterative manner with the Solar Probe Science and Technology Definition Team (STDT); the team has been standing for the past few years and will have finished its final report this fall. This paper will give a status of the study with details to be published shortly and will include the possibly modified science requirements being passed on from the STDT to the engineering team. The solar cycle phase of the mission is much the same as specified by the standing STDT report (same team, September 2005) but issues such as inclination and perihelion have been addressed. After first being recommended in 1958 and having been through numerous studies, the first mission to our favorite star could well be possible.
