P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } In this work, we apply widely used stereoscopic methods to images of the solar corona, including ground-based and space-borne measurements. We combine observations from multiple spacecraft positions, in particular from the STEREO, SDO and SOHO missions and MICA Mirror Coronagraph for Argentina) instrument in order to reconstruct the 3D structure of CMEs and track their propagation from the low corona into the heliosphere. The unique field of view of the MICA coronagraph (up to 2 solar radii) fills the gap between the outer edge of SDO/AIA FOV and the inner edge of LASCO-C2 also allowing us to study the deflection of these CMEs with respect to their solar source location.
