Ko te Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) he waka ā-ao i hangaia e tētahi rōpū ahumahi Pākehā i arahina e Matra Marconi Space (i tēnei wā ko Astrium) i whakarewahia i runga i tētahi waka whakarewa a Lockheed Martin Atlas II AS i te 2 o Hakihea 1995 hei ako i te Rā. Kua kitea e SOHO neke atu i te 3,000 ngā kōmita. I tīmata ngā mahi noa i te marama o Mei 1996. He kaupapa tahi o te mahi tahi o te ao i waenganui i te European Space Agency (ESA) me NASA. I whakaritea i te tīmatanga hei kaupapa e rua tau, kei te haere tonu a SOHO i muri i te 20 tau i roto i te mokowā: ka whakawhānuihia te misioni tae noa ki te mutunga o te 2020 me te whakawhitinga pea tae noa ki te 2022.
