NASA's Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) mission began as a concept study in 1997 and was confirmed as a follow on to NASA's highly successful line of Solar observing missions. Launched on October 25, 2006 (Figure 1) the twin observatories will take unprecedented images of the sun from a unique off the sun-earth axis angle in 3-D. Along with the suite of ultraviolet and visible light imagers the mission also carries an array of state of the art energetic particle detectors and electro-magnetic sensors to enable better understanding of the dynamics of the sun's coronal mass ejections and solar wind.
