The challenge is huge for one of NASA's most important missions next year.
To study our solar system is to study the neighborhood that witnessed our growth in the universe. We seek to understand the closest angles, and to do so, various NASA missions are responsible for using science and technology to explore outer space. In this case it would be a probe Which tells us What the sun hides What puzzles must be solved?
On board the Parker probe
It was in 2018 when Parker Solar Probe It took off towards our star. quickly 195 kilometers per secondThis NASA mission is getting closer to its stellar target, something no one has achieved yet.
He thinks it will be today December 24, 2024 When the Parker probe is found Really close to the sun. Calculations of scientists involved in the mission indicate that the probe will be able to determine its location 6 million km from the surface King Star, which has almost been described as the first landing on a star in history.
Hours before the rising star itself will study our #ParkerSolarProbe The spacecraft that was launched from @NASAKennedy At 3:31 a.m. ET to begin its journey to the sun and reveal the secrets of solar energy. details: https://t.co/5O4r9xljva pic.twitter.com/JXerO4H86x

he The main objective From the Parker probe Uncover mysteries Which is hidden in the outer part of the sun's atmosphere, especially in the region known as Crown. We are talking about a layer of the atmosphere in which temperatures can reach 2 million degrees Celsius. However, given the ship's distance, it will only have to withstand about 1,400 degrees Celsius.
“why not #ParkerSolarProbe “Melting spacecraft?” It's a perfectly reasonable question to ask about the launch this morning “touching” the sun. Watch our engineers use a blowtorch to demonstrate 🔥🔥🔥: https://t.co/RL38PIfEa6 pic.twitter.com/XIA9NF8HLP

We are talking about the fact that the Parker probe will be located at a distance representing 4% of the distance between the Earth and the Sun and that it will have to perform an operation A specific entry and exit strategyusing various tools that will be protected by A Heat shield It was created for this occasion, as you can see in the post in which we leave you on these lines.
NASA scientists are striving to achieve it Data About the Acceleration And the High temperature of charged particles Of the crown, which can be necessary for Understands What's called Space climate And for Anticipate potential impacts In communications on the ground and in electrical networks. The mission is not only unique in terms of the cosmic body it intends to investigate, but also in terms of the enormous challenge of getting close to the star and not ending up being “roasted” by its energetic force.
