    Michael W. Liemohn • Professor July 30, 2020 Dr. Nicola Fox, Heliophysics Division Director National Aeronautics and Space Administration Heliophysics Division 300 E Street, SW Washington, DC 20546-0001 Dear Dr. Fox: The Heliophysics Advisory Committee (HPAC), an advisory committee to the Heliophysics Division (HPD) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), convened on 30 June through 1 July 2020, virtually through Webex. The undersigned served as Chair for the meeting with the support of Dr. Janet Kozyra, HPAC Designated Federal Officer (DFO), of NASA-HPD. This letter summarizes the meeting outcomes, including our findings and recommendations. All of the members of HPAC participated. Specifically, the membership of HPAC is as follows: Vassilis Angelopoulos (University of California, Los Angeles), Rebecca Bishop (The Aerospace Corporation), Paul Cassak (West Virginia University), Darko Filipi (BizTek International LLC), Lindsay Glesener (University of Minnesota), Larisa Goncharenko (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Haystack Observatory), George Ho (Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory), Lynn Kistler (University of New Hampshire), James Klimchuk (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center), Tomoko Matsuo (University of Colorado Boulder), William H. Matthaeus (University of Delaware), Mari Paz Miralles (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory), Cora Randall (University of Colorado, Boulder), and me. The meeting opened with you giving an overview of the state of HPD. We were pleased to hear about HPD’s successful recent launch of Solar Orbiter and the healthy status of all of the Heliophysics division missions. This includes the HERMES payload on the Gateway and plans for a request for information regarding community input for instrumentation and spacecraft related to NASA’s return to the moon.

    Pre-decisional – For NASA Internal Use Only Solar Probe Plus (SPP) Committee on Solar and Space Physics 5 October 2016 Joe Smith Program Executive NASA Headquarters 5 October 2016 1 Solar Probe Plus (SPP) Overview Using in-situ measurements made closer to the Sun than by any previous spacecraft, SPP will determine the mechanisms that produce the fast and slow solar winds, coronal heating, and the transport of energetic particles. Solar Probe Plus will fly to less than 10 solar radii (Rs) of the Sun, having “walked in” from 35 Rs over 24 orbits.

The concept for a “Solar Probe” dates back to “Simpson’s Committee” of the Space Science Board (National Academy of Sciences, 24 October 1958) ‒ The need for extraordinary knowledge of Sun from remote observations, theory, and modeling to answer the questions: – Why is the solar corona so much hotter than the photosphere? – How is the solar wind accelerated? .

Investigations: FIELDS: measurements of magnetic fields, AC/DC electric fields SWEAP: measurements of flux of electrons, protons and alphas ISIS: measurement of solar energetic particles WISPR: measurement of coronal structures Observatory Scientist HELCATS First Annual Open Workshop SPP Mission Scenario – Observations from 0.25 AU to 9.86 RS HELCATS First Annual Open Workshop 3 SPP Near Sun Perihel Passages Number of Perihel passages < 30 RS (0.14 AU): • First Perihel at 35 RS (0.16 AU) after 88 days • 24 Perihel-passages over the time periofd of 7 years after launch in July 2018 • 1000 hrs of measurements at distances < 20 RS Ref.: NASA STDT HELCATS First Annual Open Workshop 4 Solar Probe Plus Encounter Portion of the Orbit 9.86 Rs HELCATS First Annual Open Workshop Figure 4.2 – Encounter Pass Geometry and Timeline The Deep Space Network (DSN) will be used to communicate with the SPP observatory and collect data required for navigation. Mission operations will be conducted at APL from a single Mission Operations Center (MOC), located at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) in Laurel, Maryland.

    The Coolest, Hottest Mission under the Sun!! Dr. Nicola J. Fox Parker Solar Probe Project Scientist JHU/Applied Physics Laboratory Parker Solar Probe A NASA Mission to Touch the Sun We are PARKER SOLAR PROBE! Parker, meet Parker December 12, 2017 Parker Solar Probe– Fall AGU 2017 Why haven’t we gone to the Sun yet? It took the same technological leap from a rotary phone to an iPhone X for Parker Solar Probe to become a reality December 12, 2017 Parker Solar Probe– Fall AGU 2017 Parker Solar Probe Science . To determine the structure and dynamics of the Sun’s coronal magnetic field, understand how the solar corona and wind are heated and accelerated, and determine what mechanisms accelerate and transport energetic particles. Detailed Science Objectives • Trace the flow of energy that heats and accelerates the solar corona and solar wind. • Determine the structure and dynamics of the plasma and magnetic fields at the sources of the solar wind. • Explore mechanisms that accelerate and transport energetic particles. November 16, 2017 Parker Solar Probe Mission Briefing Modeling: Providing the missing piece . In-situ data from within 0.25 AU will be available Manchester 2014 shortly after each orbit for ingestion into the coronal, solar wind and global heliospheric models . PSP would also benefit invaluably from knowing the mapping between the spacecraft and the solar surface though each orbit . Global simulations of CMEs would provide critical context when we fly through CMEs . Contact [email protected] or [email protected] Baker
