The Solar Orbiter mission, an international cooperation between ESA and NASA, is currently orbiting the Sun near the ecliptic at heliocentric distances ranging from 0.95 to 0.29 au. The fourth close perihelion occurred on 2023 October 7 (0.29 au), and the fifth perihelion is scheduled for 2024 April 4.

The overall goal of Solar Orbiter is to understand how the Sun creates and controls the heliosphere. The valuable data set provided so far by the spacecraft’s comprehensive remote-sensing and in-situ instrument payload allows for coordinated observation campaigns including multi-spacecraft analyses.

This session invites contributions that boost the Solar Orbiter objectives, including observations from Solar Orbiter’s unique vantage point (outside of the Earth-Sun line), combinations with other operational spacecraft, numerical simulations and theory developments that enhance our understanding of the connections between the Sun and the Heliosphere.
