Scientific paper

Solar Orbiter will provide, at very high spatial (35 km pixel size) and temporal resolution, novel observations of the solar atmosphere and unexplored inner heliosphere. It will achieve its wide-ranging scientific aims with a suite of sophisticated instruments through an innovative orbit design. Unprecedented observations will be made in the heliosynchronous segments of the orbits at heliocentric distances near 45 Rsolar and out of the ecliptic plane at the highest heliographic latitudes of 30° - 38°. The first near-Sun interplanetary measurements together with concurrent remote-sensing observations of the Sun and its corona will permit us to determine and understand, through correlative studies, the characteristics of the solar wind and energetic particles in close linkage with the plasma and radiation conditions in the source regions on the Sun. Solar Orbiter will deliver the first images of the polar regions and the far side of the Sun invisible from the Earth.
