Precursor Missions to the Social Orbiter (SolO) - 1457 heliosphere is created and controlled by the sun. To answer this question, he will study the formation of the solar wind in the corona, solar transients and flares as well as the solar dynamo. SolO is far from the first sun-focused satellite, and its research will build on that of several highly successful missions in the past. These include, but are by no means limited to: the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SoHO), a joint ESA and NASA mission whose aim was to study the outer and inner layers of the sun and to observe solar winds; the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE), a NASA mission that took numerous photos of the photosphere and the transition region; Ulysses, another ESA/NASA mission which studied, among other things, solar winds; and the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), a mission to study coronal mass ejections. In this report, we will examine these four missions and their contributions to the SolO mission.
