Scientific paper
The role of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in space-based solar observations is surveyed. The reasons for studying the sun are reviewed; the history of observations and the value of space observations are discussed; and some problem areas are characterized: coronal heating, the onset of the solar wind, solar flares, and global solar oscillations. RAL solar projects at present include the X-ray polychromator experiment on the Solar Maximum Mission and the Coronal Helium Abundance Spacelab Experiment to be flown on the second Spacelab mission in March, 1985. Future prospects center on the proposed ESA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory.
