Scientific paper

Instruments for the Solar Probe mission must be designed not only to address the unique scientific measurement requirements, but must be compatible with the modest resource dollars as well as tight constraints on mass and power. Another unique aspect of the Solar Probe mission is its constraint on telemetry and the fact that the prime science is conducted in a single flyby. The instrument system must be optimized to take advantage of the telemetry and observing time available. JPL, together with industry and university partners, is designing an Integrated Space Physics Instrument (ISPI) which will measure magnetic fields, plasma waves, thermal plasma, energetic particles, dust, and perform EUV/visible and coronal imaging for the Solar Probe mission. ISPI uses a new architecture and incorporates technology which not only eliminates unnecessary duplication of function, but allows sensors to share data and optimize science. The current ISPI design goal (for a flight package) is a 5 kilogram/10 watt payload.
