Abstract
In the framework of the PICARD CNES Space mission, Solar radius ground measurements at CALERN simultaneously with the onboard SODISM telescope were projected. It appeared in 2007 that the maintenance of the DORAYSOL program was not possible alongside the development of the atmospheric turbulence monitor MISOLFA and the preparation for setting up the model of the SODISM 2 telescope, the staff at hand becoming insufficient. We do hope that it will be resumed, in a fully automated way. A continuation of the ground-based series would permit one to detect possible long time variations of the global geometry of the Sun.
