The Solar Polar-orbit Observatory (SPO) mission, set to launch in January 2029, will provide the first direct views of the Sun's polar regions. These areas, long hidden from Earth's orbital perspective, are key to understanding the solar magnetic cycle, fast solar wind, and space weather. The mission aims to address fundamental questions in solar physics through advanced imaging and in-situ measurements.
