Abstract
TRACE is a single-instrument solar mission that will be put into a Sun -synchronous polar orbit and will obtain continuous solar observations for about 8 months per year. It will collect images of solar plasmas at temperatures from 10(4) to 10(7) K, with 1-arcsec spatial resolutio n and excellent temporal resolution and continuity. With such data, we expect to gain a new understanding of many solar and stellar problems ranging from coronal heating to impulsive magnetohydrodynamic phenome na.
