SAROS: Solar Active Region Observations from Spacelab. Final Report, 11 February 1980-11 November 1985

Description

A definition study of the SAROS investigation was conducted. An instrument design and mode of operation was established which was consistent with the capabilities of the Space Transportation System. Upon completion of the definition phase study the program was placed on hold for approximately five years before being terminated. Consequently, the promise which this investigation held for understanding the heating processes in coronal loops remains unfulfilled
