SOHO’s Successor

I had actually looked to see what was going on with solar missions with NASA and ESA, yet in my searching I had not found anything that appeared to be replacing SOHO, but then stuff on SDO has been popping up in the media lately, so maybe I missed it.  Today I found the main data page for SDO.  Wow.  Here is a list of instruments on the craft.  Unlike the SOHO which is in what is called a Lagrange halo orbit, SDO is in an inclined geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO).  At least part of the reason for this, I have read, may have to do with data transfer rates, as SDO is transmitting much more information than SOHO.  Its actually interesting to know what the Sun-Earth Lagrange points are, and why the L(1) was chosen for SOHO.
