- Determine the response of terrestrial and planetary magnetospheres and atmospheres to external drivers.
- Promote research on the Sun-heliosphere system outward to the local interstellar medium - the new frontier.
- Foster international scientific cooperation in the study of heliophysical phenomena now and in the future

Famous quotes containing the words science and/or goals:
“Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“I think that any woman who sets goals for herself and takes her own life seriously and moves to achieve the goals that she wants as a person in her own right is a feminist.”
—Frances Kuehn (b. 1943)
