7513 Coronal Mass Ejections (2101)
Scientific paper
This January marks the fourth anniversary of the launch of the Coriolis spacecraft that carries SMEI. Since 2003, SMEI has been recording nearly-full sky images every orbit (103 minutes) to at least 9th magnitude with 1o resolution and transmitting them to Earth. SMEI's main mission was to demonstrate that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) could be detected and tracked through the inner heliosphere en route to Earth to improve space weather forecasts. Besides mission applications, this unique dataset has provided insight into CME morphology and driving forces, interactions between comet tails and the heliosphere, zodiacal light, stellar variability and high altitude auroral phenomena. SMEI also observes asteroids and debris. This talk will briefly highlight accomplishments of the SMEI team and discuss future directions for the SMEI research program, such as tracking CMEs to other planets, searching for streamers and co-rotating interactive regions, and what might be the next step in operational heliospheric imaging of CMEs.
