Scientific paper

The next frontier of space physics is the study of the interface region between the solar cavity, dominated by the supersonic solar wind, and the more or less undisturbed very local interstellar medium. The neutral component of the interstellar gas and the high-energy cosmic ray ions penetrate deep into the inner solar system, while low-energy ions are much more efficiently excluded. Instruments on the outbound Voyager and Pioneer spacecraft show several signs of their approach towards the termination shock of the solar wind, but the position and properties of the shock are still uncertain. Recent results on backscattered UV light, anomalous cosmic rays, pick-up ions, cosmic ray modulation, and the 3-dimensional structure of the solar cavity are discussed.
