Abstract:  In order to explore the development direction of solar space exploration activities,ten typical probes were selected taking into account their implementation era,orbital design,exploration elements,technical characteristics and each mission′s result based on extensive research on solar probe missions.Scientific objectives,payloads,satellite platform characteristics and scientific achievements of the ten typical probes were analyzed.Solar space exploration progress and development trend were summarized.In general,the orbit of solar detectors has been gradually diversified,detection elements of payload have become more abundant,and the detection accuracy and resolution have been significantly improved.However,there are still a lot of problems to be solved.On the basis of analyzing the current achievements and pending problems,the development outlook of solar space exploration was proposed,pointing out that all round and multielement exploration is a feasible way to break the bottleneck of solar physics and space weather forecast.

Key words: solar exploration in space, solar physics, space weather forecast, orbit design, satellite platform, payload
