By means of its unique out-of-ecliptic perspective and combined remote-sensing and in-situ instrumentation, Solar Orbiter will provide important measurements to address the central question of heliophysics: How does the Sun create and control the heliosphere? Combining data from Solar Orbiter with measurements taken by other space missions, e.g. Solar Probe Plus, and ground-based assets will open up additional exciting scientific opportunities. To prepare for these investigations, the orbital characteristics of all observatories involved have to be understood in detail. In this paper, we describe the three mission profiles that have been studied for Solar Orbiter and highlight some of the unique opportunities for multi-point observations.
