Scientific paper

The Solar Probe is a mission of exploration and discovery in an uninvestigated region near the sun. The Solar Probe can enhance general understanding of the corona and the solar wind. The first in situ measurements of coronal particles and fields are expected to provide definitive discriminators among many currently proposed models of processes that shape the structure and dynamics of the outer corona and solar wind. In addition, observations of the development of turbulence, nonlinear wave processes, plasma heating, and particle acceleration in the corona can advance these areas of plasma physics in a regime neither duplicated by earth-based laboratories nor by previous space exploration. It also fills the last gap between knowledge of the terrestrial response to solar output as well as provide insight for interpreting observations of general stellar envelopes.
