Solar Orbiter, a collaboration between ESA and NASA will have its first opportunity to launch from Cape Canaveral on February 7, 2020. Launching on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, the spacecraft will use Venus&#8217; and Earth&#8217;s gravity to swing itself out of the ecliptic plane \u2014 the swath of space, roughly aligned with the Sun&#8217;s equator, where all planets orbit. From there, Solar Orbiter&#8217;s bird&#8217;s eye view will give it the first-ever look at the Sun&#8217;s poles. <\/p>\n<p>Video credit: NASA&#8217;s Goddard Space Flight Center\/Holly Gilbert (NASA\/GSFC): Scientist\/Teresa Nieves-Chinchilla (Catholic University of America): Scientist\/Chris St. Cyr (NASA\/GSFC): Scientist\/Joy Ng (USRA): Producer\/Tom Bridgman (GST): Data Visualizer\/Adriana Manrique Gutierrez (USRA): Animator\/Chris Smith (USRA): Animator\/Joy Ng (USRA): Animator\/Lisa Poje (USRA): Animator\/Krystofer Kim (USRA): Animator\/Brian Monroe (USRA): Animator\/Miles S.
