The scientific objectives of the instrumentation chosen to carry out the exploratory investigations of ISPM are reviewed, including mission time-lines and trajectory. The ISPM will allow exploration of 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. The ISPM is a cooperative mission carried out jointly by ESA and NASA, to be launched in the mid-1980's and utilizing a Jupiter gravity assist to achieve a high solar latitude trajectory. The scientific instrumentation was 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.
