It is suggested that an out-of-the-ecliptic solar electric propulsion (SEP) mission be performed. Data would be gathered pertaining to the three-dimensional structure of solar features at radio and X-ray wavelengths, the properties of the solar wind as a function of latitude and time, the configuration of the interplanetary field and its relation to solar fields, and the modulations of cosmic rays to determine the spectrum of interstellar cosmic rays. The mission would also, it is thought, demonstrate the capability of SEP for use in Shuttle missions. The SEP spacecraft and the ongoing development of related systems are examined. The weight of a SEP stage is contrasted with the weight of a chemical rocket stage.
