It was launched in 1990 and made three "fast latitude scans" of the Sun in 1994/1995, 2000/2001, and 2007/2008. In addition, the probe studied several comets.

To reach the desired orbit around the Sun, the mission's planners chose a gravity assist mane ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
