Solar Ring (SOR) is a proposed space science mission to monitor and study the Sun and
inner heliosphere from a full 360° perspective in the ecliptic plane. It will deploy-three 120°-
separated spacecraft on the 1-AU orbit. The first spacecraft, S1, locates 30° upstream of the
Earth, the second, S2, 90° downstream, and the third, S3, completes the configuration. This
design with necessary science instruments, eg, the Doppler-velocity and vector magnetic
field imager, wide-angle coronagraph, and in-situ instruments, will allow us to establish …
