Brief introduction to NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) due to launch in Nov 09

SDO will study solar cycles, flares, solar wind, magnetic fields and corona heating in order to understand the Sun's behavior and make better predictions of Atmospheric interference to communications. SDO will be placed in geosynchronous orbit above New Mexico and will stream huge amounts of Solar data down to the dedicated ground station specially built for the SDO mission.
