Abstract:
A key science goal of the Solar Orbiter mission is to make connections between phenomena on the Sun and their manifestations in interplanetary space. To that end, the spacecraft carries a carefully tailored payload of six remote sensing instruments and four making in situ measurements. During June 2020, while the spacecraft was around 0.5 AU from the Sun, the remote sensing instruments operated for several days. While this was primarily an engineering activity, the resulting observations provided outstanding measurements and represent the ideal first opportunity to investigate the potential for making connections between the remote sensing and in situ payloads on Solar Orbiter.
We present a preliminary analysis of the available remote sensing and in situ observations, showing how connections can be made, and discuss the potential for further, more precise mapping to be performed as the mission progresses.
