From Pale Blue Dot To Pale Yellow Solar System

I had previously proposed a space telescope to observe the solar system from another perspective. Today, I am improving on that idea. Actually, going beyond the solar plane is not that difficult.

First, the solar space telescope would be launched to the sun synchronous orbit (SSO). Then, booster sections would be added to the telescope to form a multi stage rocket in space. This rocket would be fired when the orbit has perpendicular speed to the solar plane. The objective is to accelerate the telescope beyond the earth's escape velocity. Beyond this speed, the solar telescope would travel almost indefinitely without needing further propulsion. Therefore, increasing its distance from the solar plane. Additionally, the sun synchronous telecom satellites would relay the signal from the telescope to the earth allowing long range communication.

It would have been nice to capture the whole solar system in one frame. However, the planets reflect sun's light mostly in the solar plane and very little in the perpendicular direction. Therefore, the telescope most probably could not detect the individual planets besides the sun.

Finally, one day the solar telescope would transmit an image showing the solar system as one pale yellow dot.
