OBJECTIVES
The interest in the structure of the termination shock and heliosheath plasma properties is growing dramatically due to the expectations that Voayger 2 will intersect the termination shock within 3 years. The increase of interest is also connected with future ENA experiments on the Interstellar Pathfinder spacecraft and with new methods of remote diagnostics of the heliosheath plasma properties through analyses of absorption Lyman-alpha lines toward nearby stars. A careful analyses of the heliospheric absorption will also provide important constraints on interstellar absorptions, and, therefore, on the interstellar D/H ratio, which has a significant cosmological importance.
The primary goals of the project are:
