The Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, is scheduled to be the first mission to launch in 2007 under the new Living With a Star (LWS) program. It builds on the success of SOHO and other recent solar missions, but will observe the Sun at greater resolution and faster time cadence with a set of remote sensing instruments generating data in excess of 100 megabytes per second. The Science Definition Team produced a report consisting of a series of science objectives and a baseline instrument complement. Instrument proposals were due in April 2002, with selection to occur in the late summer of 2002. The spacecraft is being built at NASA Goddard Spacecraft Center by a team of engineers which are currently undergoing the formulation process. The presentation will discuss the current status of the science investigation selection and the spacecraft formulation.
