Solar Science (SOL)

Salutations! May the sunlight always be upon you!

This science addon adds two Deep Space Solar Experiments (STEREO and SOHO) to Kerbal Space Program.

Preamble by Snoopy20111

This small part addon adds a couple new scientific instruments (such as the one pictured here) which do science specifically around the most wondrous body in the Kerbol system. Both of these instruments are based upon instruments currently aboard the SOHO and STEREO spacecraft. It also adds a few new flags.

Remember to Praise the Sun!

When used, provides actual, up-to-date images directly from NASA from the real-world STEREO and SOHO spacecraft!

Installation Directions [^1]

Use CurseForge/OverWolf App (currently does not install dependencies)

I take no part, nor am I interested in maintaining the CKAN mod metadata for my mods. CKAN is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools. If you are having issues please let the CKAN people know and refer to the CKAN thread. My support of CKAN extends as far as me checking the checkbox in Spacedock when I upload. Beware, CKAN can really mess up though it tries very, very, very hard not to.
