Trajectory and technology requirements for the Solar Probe mission, whereby a spacecraft will attain a perihelion of a few solar radii, are discussed. Planetary gravity assist trajectories are considered that use Jupiter and possibly the earth, and that are needed for large payloads to be carried. Hardware technology development includes a lightweight thermal shield, a high energy propulsion module, and new power generation capability. Also discussed are a drag compensation system making the spacecraft drag free to a level of 10 to the -10th g, and a telecommunications system with doppler tracking accuracy of 0.1 mm/sec.
