The solar and heliospheric observatory (SOHO), a three-axis stabilized spacecraft, will be placed in a halo orbit around the first Lagrange point 1.5 Gm sunward from the earth in 1995. SOHO will investigate the solar corona, solar wind, and the structure and dynamics of the solar interior. The scientific policy evolution leading to the development of SOHO, its links with other space programs, and SOHO's concept and role in the study of solar-terrestrial physics are discussed. Scientific goals, the measurements required to achieve them, as well as the current status of the scientific projects to be investigated by SOHO are reviewed. Mission design, spacecraft, payload, orbit, operations, data and ground systems are described. Efforts to obtain a reliable radiometric calibration and stable sensitivity of instruments for solar observations in the extreme-ultraviolet are presented.
