Spacecraft positions
An interactive 3D plot of spacecraft and planet positions with the solar equatorial plane as the reference plane (HEEQ coordinates). The Sun has a size of 5 solar radii, the planets are not to scale. The dashed lines give the trajectory 80 days into the future, the solid lines 80 days into the past, at a 1 hour time resolution. You can zoom and rotate with the mouse, see also the controls on the upper right. Click here to open the plot in a new tab.

Orbit progression of Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe
Solar Orbiter (ESA) and Parker Solar Probe (NASA) are the current flagship heliophysics missions. Animations for these trajectories in HEEQ coordinates are available in this figshare repository.
