On May 1, 2008 the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory announced to design and build the spacecraft, on a schedule to launch in 2015 [cite web | author =M.

cientific goals

*Determine the structure and dynamics of the magnetic fields at the sources of solar wind.
*Trace the flow of energy that heats the corona and accelerates the solar wind.
*Determine what mechanisms accelerate and transport energetic particles.
*Explore dusty plasma near the sun and its influence on solar wind and energetic particle formation.
