Scientific synergy between Solar Orbiter and other new observatories
Abstract
With previously unavailable observational capabilities provided by a suite of in-situ and remote-sensing instruments in a unique orbit, the Solar Orbiter mission promises to deliver ground-breaking science. At the same time, its challenging 'deep space' trajectory also imposes constraints, e.g. on the total volume of science data that can be downlinked per orbit. This contribution highlights the science goals of Solar Orbiter and addresses the scientific synergy between this joint ESA/NASA mission and other new space- and ground-based observatories, which will play a key role in maximizing the science return of Solar Orbiter.
