Britain is planning its first solo space science mission in 20 years.
Scientists hope to send a satellite into deep space to study solar influences on climate change.

The Earthshine mission would showcase British expertise and provide vital data on climate change.
The spacecraft would carry out experiments from a vantage point about 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth where there is an uninterrupted view of the Sun.

Its three scientific instruments would probe cosmic rays and clouds to test current models of climate change.
