This volume is dedicated to the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) which was launched 11
February 2010. The articles focus on the spacecraft and its instruments: the Atmospheric
Imaging Assembly (AIA) the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) and the
Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI). Articles within also describe calibration results and
data processing pipelines that are critical to understanding the data and products concluding
with a description of the successful Education and Public Outreach activities. This book is
geared towards anyone interested in using the unprecedented data from SDO whether for
fundamental heliophysics research space weather modeling and forecasting or educational
purposes. Previously published in Solar Physics journal Vol. 275 1-2 2012.
