NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) was launched on August
25, 1997, carrying six high-resolution spectrometers that measure
the abundances of the elements, isotopes, and ionic charge states
of energetic nuclei in space. Data from these instruments is being
used to measure and compare the composition of the solar corona,
the nearby interstellar medium, and cosmic-ray sources in the
Galaxy, and to study particle acceleration processes in a variety
of environments. ACE also includes three instruments that monitor
solar wind and energetic particle activity near the inner
Lagrangian point, "1.5 million kilometers sunward of Earth, and
provide continuous, real-time data to NOAA for use in forecasting
space weather. Eleven of the articles in this volume review
scientific progress and outline questions that ACE will address in
solar, space-plasma, and cosmic-ray physics. Other articles
describe the ACE spacecraft, the real-time solar-wind system, and
the instruments used to measure energetic particle composition.
