NASA is about to launch a probe into the burning atmosphere of the sun
The US Department of Aeronautics and Space ( NASA) is about to launch a probe on the burning atmosphere of the sun [19690000]) To send a probe closer to the sun than any other spacecraft that pbades through the solar halo carrying the heat flamboyant while studying the outer part of the solar atmosphere that causes the solar wind.
Parker Solar Probe A small spacecraft from Cape Canaveral, Florida, August 6 for this mission What is expected to last seven years. The solar system is expected to reach 6.1 kilometers from the sun's surface, seven times the distance of any other spacecraft.
Nicola Fox, a project scientist, said at a press conference Friday "By ambitious work, and send to such a difficult situation is very ambitious." A probe called Helios 2 reaches 43 million The solar halo produces the solar wind, which is a continuous stream of charged particles that permeate the solar system. Unstable solar winds cause an imbalance in the planet's magnetic field and can destroy communication technology on Earth. NASA hopes that the results will enable scientists to predict changes in the Earth's space environment.
The probe owes its name to the American astronomer Eugene Newman Parker and has to withstand the harsh conditions of heat and radiation. The probe is equipped with a heat shield designed to maintain its equipment at a reasonable temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, even if the vehicle is facing temperatures of about 1370 degrees Celsius at the nearest sun point.
