Abstract
Since early in 1998, NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft has provided continuous measurements of solar wind and energetic particle activity from L1, its orbit position located approximately 0.01 AU sunward of Earth. Its mission addresses a wide range of objectives, including studying the origin and evolution of solar, interplanetary, and galactic material, the formation of the solar corona, the acceleration of the solar wind and coronal mass ejections, and the acceleration of energetic particles. In this article we review current and planned data products available from ACE and describe recent modifications to the spacecraft's orbit that will extend its lifetime and provide solar wind data closer to the Earth-Sun line.
