NASA's SOHO Celebrates 20 Years of Space-based Science After 20 years in space, ESA and NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO, is still going strong. Originally launched in 1995 to study the sun and its influence out to the very edges of the solar system, SOHO revolutionized this field of science, known as heliophysics, providing the ba- sis for nearly 5,000 scientific papers. SOHO also found an unexpected role as the greatest comet hunter of all time—reaching 3,000 comet discov- eries in September 2015. The Opportunities for Plasma Processing Pete Starkey interviewed Andre Bodegom, man- aging director of Netherlands-based Adeon Tech- nologies B.V., about their long relationship with Nordson MARCH, typical applications for plasma equipment, and what the most challenging mate- rials are from the point of view of plasma process- ing in the PCB industry.
