Primary Science Objectives
- Understand the causes and mechanisms of CME initiation
- Characterize the propagation of CMEs through the heliosphere
- Discover the mechanisms and sites of energetic particle acceleration in the low corona and the interplanetary medium
- Develop a 3D time-dependent model of the magnetic topology, temperature, density, and velocity structure of the ambient solar wind
New IMPACT Investigation Approaches
- Multipoint in-situ characterization of ICMEs and SEPs resulting from imaged CMEs at different separations at 1AU
- Quadrature measurements with the STEREOscopic SECCHI imagers
- Space Weather detection, modeling and prediction from multiple perspective
