单词 Solar Orbiter
释义
Solar Orbiter

Astronomy
  • An ESA solar observatory, launched in 2020 February, that will orbit the Sun at distances as close as 0.28 au (60 solar radii), imaging its surface and corona at visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray wavelengths, as well as detecting charged particles and magnetic fields in the solar wind. Its elliptical orbit will bring it close to the Sun every five months, at which time it will be moving at about the same rate as the Sun spins and will temporarily hover over one region like a geostationary satellite to watch the development of solar active regions. Repeated flybys of Venus during the mission will increase the craft’s orbital inclination to as much as 35°, allowing the probe to examine the Sun’s polar regions.

Space Exploration
  • A proposed European Space Agency probe which will observe solar activity from distances as close as 45 solar radii, one-fifth the Earth's distance from the Sun. Launched in February 2020. Gravity assists from Venus will help manoeuvre into a 150-day orbit at an inclination of up to 35 degrees to the Sun's equator from where it will be able to observe the polar regions and the side of the Sun not visible from Earth. At its closest, Solar Orbiter's orbital motion will match the rotation speed of the Sun so it can make extended observations of the development of solar storms.
