Scientific paper

The Picard solar satellite has been launched on June 15, 2010. This mission is dedicated to the measurement of the solar diameter with an expected accuracy of milliarcseconds of arc. The radiometer onboard is to measure the total solar irradiance. The final goal is the evaluation of the W, the logarithmic ratio of radius and luminosity. This parameter will help the climatologists to recover past values of the solar luminosity when the radius is available from ancient eclipses data.
