Description
An artist's impression of NASA's STEREO mission shortly after launch. European scientists and engineers contributed to all of the instruments on the spacecraft. STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) is a solar observation mission. Two nearly identical spacecraft were launched in 2006 into orbits around the Sun that cause them to respectively pull farther ahead of and fall gradually behind the Earth. This enables stereoscopic imaging of the Sun and solar phenomena, such as coronal mass ejections.
