Abstract
A short overview is given of the Solar Orbiter mission. First, the key scientific aims of the mission are briefly described. As the mission profile has consequences on the design of the payload instruments and their calibration, the mission design is described. Possible implications and problems for the cleanliness and the calibration stability of the instruments are outlined. Some solutions are discussed.
