Abstract

The PICARD mission is a CNES micro-satellite to be launched in 2009. Its goal is to better understand the Sun and the potential impact of its activity on earth climate by measuring simultaneously the solar total and spectral irradiance, diameter, shape and oscillations. We present the scientific objectives, instrumental requirements and data products of the helioseismology program of PICARD which aims to observe the low to medium l p-mode oscillations in intensity and search for g-mode oscillation signatures at the limb. http://www.picard-mission.cnes.fr
