The eleventh COSPAR colloquium The Outer Heliosphere: The Next
Frontiers was held in Potsdam, Germany, from 24-28 July, 2000, and
is the second dedicated to this subject after the first one held in
Warsaw, Poland in 1989.
Roughly a century has passed after the first ideas by Oliver Lodge,
George Francis Fitzgerald and Kristan Birkeland about particle
clouds emanating from the Sun and interacting with the Earth
environment. Only a few decades after the formulation of the
concepts of a continuous solar corpuscular radiation by Ludwig
Bierman and a solar wind by Eugene Parker, heliospheric physics has
evolved into an important branch of astrophysical research.
Numerous spacecraft missions have increased the knowledge about the
heliosphere tremendously. Now, at the beginning of a new millenium
it seems possible, by newly developed propulasion technologies to
send a spacecraft beyond the boundaries of the heliosphere. Such an
Interstellar Proce will start the in-situ exploration of
interstellar space and, thus, can be considered as the first true
astrophysical spacecraft. The year 2000 appeared to be a highly
welcome occassion to review the achievements since the last COSPAR
Colloquia 11 years ago, to summarize the present developments and
to give new impulse for future activities in heliospheric research.
