We have finally been able to restore the server that has been down. You should no longer receive errors and/or "Forbidden" messages on any part of the LASCO website... but it's always possible we have overlooked something.
Therefore, if you find any pages that return "Forbidden" messages, or dead links, or any other data you feel is missing, please contact the webmaster.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience while our server was down.


Welcome to the home page of the LASCO instrument, brought to you by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Space Science Divison's Solar Physics Branch. LASCO is one of several instruments on board the enormously successful SOHO mission, a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA.

LASCO image Researchers in the Solar Physics Branch have been involved in observational and theoretical studies of the solar atmosphere since the early years of the space age. Experiments developed at NRL have flown on NASA missions such as Skylab/ATM, the OSO satellite series, the Space Shuttle STS-3, Spacelab-2 and ATLAS missions.

 
It is now since SOHO Launched on December 2, 1995!
