Abstract

The number of spacecraft used in identifying CMEs, ICMEs and their characteristics are many, varied and can be confusing. In this chapter, a summary of the spacecraft that made significant contributions to our understanding of CMEs is presented. Each are presented in chronological order or launch date, citing dates of launch and completion, instrument payload aboard, orbit and milestones achieved in the advancement of our understanding of CMEs.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It has been my observation that observational solar physicists tend to be associated with instruments rather than ideas. If, for example, you were to show me a publication I could often identify the instruments used in the study simply from the names of the authors on the publication. As with most areas of science, developments tend to be associated with individuals. Hence, to a certain extent, to understand the development of ideas in solar physics it is important to follow the hardware.
