SOHO Coordinated Observations Calendar
This Calendar is used to track the coordinated observations of SOHO instruments and campaigns with other space-based and ground-based observatories.
Please send updates to: soc (at) esa.nascom.nasa.gov.

NOTE: Listing of instruments below does not in itself imply commitment to a given observation — instruments must be contacted individually, and their level of commitment is most accurately reflected by their own calendars/pages (see e.g. TRACE link above)
