The Solar-B Mission and the Forefront of Solar Physics
The Fifth Solar-B Science Meeting| Dedicated to the Memory of Yutaka Uchida |November 12{14, 2003
The International House, Roppongi, Tokyo
Solar-B, the successor of Yohkoh (Solar-A) mission, is being developed at ISAS and NAO, Japan,
in cooperation with NASA, PPARC and ESA. The main instruments are a 50cm-diameter opticaltelescope (SOT) with a focal plane package (FPP), a grazing-incidence soft X-ray telescope (XRT),
and an EUV imaging spectrometer (EIS). The launch is planned to be 2006 summer. This meeting isthe 5th in the series of Solar-B science meetings. It commemorates Yutaka Uchida who passed awaylast August, and we honor the role he played in making the Solar-B project a reality. This meetingemphasizes basic scientiåc topics rather than instrumentation, and participation from the entire solar
community has been strongly encouraged.
