1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

The Government requires that the multi-mission Space Weather Observations Mission Operations

Services (SWO-MOS) support the first observatory in the Space Weather Next (SW ext) Space

Weather Observations at L1 (SOL) project, in accordance with the Mission Oper ns Services

Requirements Document (MOSRD) and meeting maturity milestone provided he SOL Review

Plan. The SOL project will deploy two observatories, the first, SOL-A, is i nd o launch no earlier than June 2029 and subject to appropriation, the second, SOL-B uld laun o earlier than

2032 (See figure 1). The two observatories will be near copies of each o her and will a be a near copy of the SWFO-L1 observatory with respect to their observatio , operational, orbit, communications requirements. They will each host solar remot nsing and in situ instrum

Each observatory will be a Sun-pointed, 3-axis stabilized sat te stationed in a Lissajous orbit around the Sun-Earth L1 point. The SOL observatory payl d instruments will consist of the following:

• Coronagraph
