From page 130... ...
The primary objectives of the scientific mission will be to investigate, at the various solar latitudes out of the ecliptic plane of the solar system, the properties of the solar corona, the solar wind, the structure of the Sun-wind interface, the heliospheric magnetic field, solar and non-solar cosmic rays, and the interstellar/interplanetary neutral gas and dust. Secondary objectives of the mission include interplanetary physics investigations during the initial Earth-Jupiter phase, when the separation of the two spacecraft will be approximately 0.01 astronomical unit, and measurements of the Jovian magnetosphere during the Jupiter flyby phase.

Such reviews will be conducted by each Agency for its respective spacecraft with agreed representation from the other Agency. The final flight readiness review of the two mated spacecraf t will be conducted by a joint panel with co-chairmen designated by the NASA Associate Administrator for Space Science and the ESA Director of Scientif to Programs.
