Science and Technology Facilities Council | Solar Orbiter: The SPICE Spectrometer @SciTechUK | Uploaded February 2020 | Updated October 2024, 26 minutes ago.
After more than 10 years in development, Solar Orbiter will provide scientists with a long-awaited insight into some of the mysteries surrounding our nearest star.
UK scientists and engineers have played a leading role in the mission. STFC’s RAL Space, University College London and Imperial College London have led international teams to design and build three of the 10 science instruments onboard. These instruments will look at the environment around the Sun as well as undertake high-resolution imaging of the Sun's atmosphere – the corona – as well as the solar disc.
