Scientific paper

Roger M. Bonnet, who has been Director of the Scienfific Programme in the European Scace Agency for 18 years, is known to the younger generation of solar physicists - those who will actually prepare and operate the Solar Orbiter - in this role only. We appraise here Roger Bonnet's research work, from his student time when he investigated the ultraviolet solar spectrum by use of balloon and rocket instruments. We then trace his research in solar physics as Principal Investigator on the eighth Orbiting Solar Observatory (OSO-8) and, later, with the Transition Region Camera (TRC). The results of these two projects, respectively, ruled out significant wave heating of the corona and provided the first high-resolution Lα images of the Sun. We further review his contributions to cometary and stellar research, and note his numerous contributions to science policy, i.e., his role in inspiring and stimulating developments - be it by organising influential conferences or by promoting his visions as member or chairman of high-level committees - already before he became ESA's Director of the Scientific Programme.
