Solar Orbiter UK Community Support FY2016/17 and FY2017/18
Lead Research Organisation:
University College London
Department Name: Mullard Space Science Laboratory
Abstract
As previously agreed with STFC, this award will cover travel expenses for members of the UK Solar and Heliospheric Physics research communities, who are not affiliated with the UK hardware build teams, to travel to meetings and workshops in support of achieving the scientific objectives of the ESA Solar Orbiter mission. Relevant meetings in the time frame of the award include regular ESA working groups that UK scientists could contribute well to - two of these are the helioseismology working discussion in October 2016 at MPS and the mission data analysis and modelling working group which is next due to meet at the end of 2016/start of 2017. The latter meeting is part of an ongoing series, so a commitment to the working group will be required. In addition, the next Solar Orbiter science meeting is in Granada in April 2017, and a strong attendance from the UK would be excellent. We will seek to provide partial travel support for a number of UK scientists to go and present relevant work at that meeting. we will seek to support other meetings on a case by case basis, depending on perceived relevance to the Solar Orbiter mission objectives.
Planned Impact
The impact of the award will be that members of the UK Solar and Heliospheric Physics communities will be better engaged with and understand the details of this upcoming mission and thus be in a better position to make ground-breaking advances in the mission science opportunities. They will be better placed to further disseminate information to broader audiences about this mission and its science.

| Description | The broader UK community has increased its awareness of the Solar Orbiter mission, the planning of its operations and the potential data returns. Following the mission launch in Feb 2020, a number of beneficiaries of the travel grants made under this award are now in a position to make significant contributions to the science return of the mission. |
| Exploitation Route | The Uk community s better placed to access and use data from the Solar Orbiter mission, thereby increasing the potential scientific return to the UK in the post launch and operations period (2020-2029). |
| Sectors | Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software),Education |
| Description | The award has been used to fund travel of a number of members of the broader (i.e. outside of the hardware teams) UK solar and heliospheric communities to attend Solar Orbiter related meetings. This increases awareness across the community which in turn increases their ability to engage with outside entities such as schools and the general public. It also allows the broader community to better prepare for the post-launch period in which they will hopefully engage with analysis of the data returned and provide further impacts through their findings. |
