Scientific paper

The instrumentation and mission objectives of ISPM are described. The ISPM explores the heliosphere within a few astronomical units of the Sun over the full range of heliographic latitudes. The prime mission objective is to study, as a function of solar latitude, the properties of the interplanetary medium and solar corona. It uses a Jupiter gravity-assist to achieve a high solar latitude trajectory. The scientific instrumentation is designed to explore, in the third heliospheric dimension, the properties of the solar corona, the solar wind, the Sun-wind interface, the heliospheric magnetic field, solar radio bursts and plasma waves, solar and galactic cosmic rays, and interplanetary/interstellar neutral dust and gas.
