The Wide-field White Light and Spectrometric Coronograph (LASCO) to be flown on SOHO in 1995 will observe the corona from just above the limb at 1.1 out to 30 solar radii (R o). In addition to the fundamental problems of coronal physics (heating of the corona, acceleration of the solar wind, coronal transients), the scientific objectives incorporate the distribution and properties of dust particles including those released from sun-grazing comets, and interactions of coronal plasma with the dust.
