Description:
The problems that can be solved by combining the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and the magnetic structures on and around the sun (MagSonas) observations are discussed. A magneto-Doppler imager and X and Ka band linearly polarized radio signals sent to the other side of the sun can support extended SOHO mission. This is the purpose of the MagSonas mission. The MagSonas radio system, designed to serve as spacecraft communications and a sounding coronal magnetic field, is described.
