DESCRIPTION:Early results from STIX and Solar Orbiter\nThe ESA space missi
 on Solar Orbiter was successfully launched on February 10th\, 2020\, from 
 Cape Canaveral. Its purpose is to improve our understanding of how the Sun
  creates and controls the heliosphere\, which includes studying the nature
  of the solar dynamo\, the origins of the solar wind and coronal magnetic 
 fields\, and the physics of solar eruptions and particle acceleration. To 
 achieve this\, the mission combines unique characteristics: a close approa
 ch to the Sun (0.28 AU perihelion)\, leaving the ecliptic plane in the lat
 er mission phase\, and a comprehensive suit of 6 remote-sensing and 4 in-s
 itu instruments. AIP is involved in two of these instruments: the X-ray te
 lescope STIX and the energetic particle detector EPD.\nFrom launch to the 
 first and only Earth flyby on November 26th\, 2021\, Solar Orbiter has bee
 n in its cruise phase\, during which all instruments were successfully com
 missioned. Although the science phase of the mission has only just started
 \, there are already first results from the cruise phase. In this talk\, I
  will discuss some of these early results. In particular\, I will focus on
  observations from our X-ray telescope STIX\, for which I will both show s
 ome early results and discuss the future prospects for the science phase.\
