title = "IMPACT: Science goals and firsts with STEREO",
abstract = "The in situ measurements of particles and CME transients (IMPACT) investigation on the twin STEREO spacecraft focuses on the solar energetic particle, solar wind and suprathermal electron, and magnetic field measurements needed to address STEREO's goals. IMPACT will provide regular, identical, in situ multipoint measurements bracketing Earth as each spacecraft separates from it at a rate of ∼22°/yr along Earth's orbit. Combined with the PLASTIC and SWAVES investigations, IMPACT fills a critical role in the STEREO quest to connect SECCHI's 3D coronal images to their interplanetary consequences.",

note = "Funding Information: STEREO IMPACT is supported through NASA contract NAS5-03131 to the University of California, Berkeley. We thank R. Schwenn for providing access to the Helios summary data, and the SOHO investigators for making their images available. The SOHO images shown are from the CME Catalogs web site maintained by Seiji Yashiro. Numerical simulation results shown are based on efforts supported by NASA/KDI, NASA/LWS, NSF/CISM, NSF/SHINE and AFOSR/MURI Programs.",
