NASA to launch 3-D mission to study sun
by Veronica Smith
WASHINGTON (AFP) -NASA plans to launch a 3-D mission to study the sun, using twin satellites in mirror orbits to trace the fiery star's streams of energy and matter to Earth.
"We are at the dawning of a new age of solar observations," Russ Howard of the Naval Research Laboratory said at a NASA news conference.
The two-year Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) mission will be the first to view the sun from two separate vantage points outside Earth's orbit.
