Solar Orbiter perihelion passage, 5 October 2028

This figure shows the orbital configuration of STEREO Ahead (red) during the perihelion passage of Solar Orbiter (orange) centered on 5 October 2028. The positions of Solar Orbiter are plotted at one day intervals from five days before perihelion to five days after. The sense of motion is counter-clockwise. During this short period, the motions of STEREO and the planets are negligible in the Heliocentric Earth Ecliptic coordinate system which follows Earth's orbital period.

Note that the projected location of STEREO Behind is also plotted. However, that spacecraft is not currently operational. Follow this link for more information.

The following figure shows the progression of Solar Orbiter through the fields of view of the STEREO/SECCHI telescopes. The images are simulated, based on data from earlier in the STEREO mission.
