Scientific paper

A study has been promoted by NASA to evaluate the scientific return and the technological problems of a close-to-the-sun mission (Solar Probe). It has come out that using current technology it is possible to deliver at 4 solar radii from the sun's center a scientific payload with such performances to allow a great improvement of our understanding of the coronal phenomena. The mission concept currently under study uses planetary encounters to reach the required orbit. The final orbit period is 2.5 years, the estimated mission duration about 9 years. The orbit inclination is such as to give the maximum coverage in terms of heliographic latitude. During the perihelion phases a conical structure shields the spacecraft from the intense solar radiation.
