The Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) provides measurements of the Thomson scattering brightness with near-full sky coverage
from Earth orbit. These observations allow three-dimensional reconstruction of the solar wind density and velocity throughout
the inner heliosphere. We discuss how these observations provide context for in situ solar wind observations from other
"Great Observatory" satellites near Earth (ACE), other planets (Mars Orbiter) and in deep space (Ulysses).
