Some consider SDO to be a follow-on mission to the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). [8] SDO is a three-axis stabilized spacecraft, with two solar arrays, and two high-gain antennas, in an inclined geosynchronous orbit around Earth. The spacecraft includes three instruments:
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) is a European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft built by a European industrial consortium led by Matra Marconi Space (now Airbus Defence and Space) that was launched on a Lockheed Martin Atlas IIAS launch vehicle on 2 December 1995, to study the Sun. It has also discovered more than 5,000 comets. [2]
NASA/SDO. The sun has been especially active over the last 48 hours. It's released many M-class solar flares as well as an X-class flare — the most powerful type. ... Space weather isn't just ...
The SDO is responsible for leading the ground and crew response to Starliner events that result in cautions or warnings on the space station. Tablet The Tablet position monitors crew usage of the tablet devices and provides assistance/advice to the crew as needed.

2009 – 2013: [10] The ESA Herschel Space Observatory exhausted its supply of liquid helium and was moved from the Lagrangian point in June 2013. 2009 – 2013: At the end of its mission ESA's Planck spacecraft was put into a heliocentric orbit and passivated to prevent it from endangering any future missions. 2011 – 2012: CNSA's Chang'e 2.
It is the follow-up to the Yohkoh (Solar-A) mission and it was launched on the final flight of the M-V rocket from Uchinoura Space Center, Japan on 22 September 2006 at 21:36 UTC (23 September, 06:36 JST). Initial orbit was perigee height 280 km, apogee height 686 km, inclination 98.3 degrees.
