Abstract
Charged particle instrumentation that will be flying on six spacecraft in the heliosphere between 1 and 90 AU during 2001 2004 will provide a global view of the interplanetary medium that has not heretofore been available. Comparative analyses of the data that will be obtained will provide new understanding of the global evolution of heliospheric features such as traveling shock waves, coronal mass ejections, solar activity-produced particle injections, and anomalous cosmic rays.
