STEREO
(Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) is the third mission in
NASA's Solar Terrestrial Probes program. This two-year mission will
employ two nearly identical space-based observatories - one ahead of
Earth in its orbit, the other trailing behind - to provide the
first-ever stereoscopic (3D) measurements to study the Sun and the
nature of its coronal mass ejections, or CMEs.
STEREO was launched at 9:52 pm EDT, October 25, 2006 and was
successfully inserted into orbit. |
