The Parker Probe, christened in honor of Eugene Parker, the astrophysicist who developed supersonic solar wind theory, will be launched from Cape Canaveral, in the state of Florida (USA), from August 6, according to a statement from the agency.
The mission will approach 6 million kilometers of the solar surface at a speed that will reach 200 kilometers per second in a mission in which it will badyze the behavior of the star both at a distance and in the place itself.
