For Ikaros, it did not work well, but it does not discourage NASA. The US space agency will soon send a probe to the Korona of the Sun, seven times closer to our star than any human building before.

August 6 – or later because of the weather – it will be sent from Cape Canaveral in Florida, announces NASA
Seven years, using the planet Venus, build an elliptical path more and more old around the Sun. Such a path makes him spend short periods near the sun, and so, according to Nasa, should heat up the heat better.
The purpose is to study the coronary, the sun's external atmosphere, the play of rolling light, for example around total solar eclipses. The coronary is, among others, behind the so-called solar winds, which can do it for terrestrial communication systems.
Next, Parker will come 6.1 million kilometers from the "surface" of the sun. It is seven times closer than the previous record, the Helios 2 probe, which remained at a distance of 43 million kilometers in the 1970s.
On average, the Earth is 150 million kilometers from the sun, so that the planet Mercury 46 million kilometers
The Reuters news agency writes that Parkersonden will be exposed to temperatures of up to 1400 degrees Celsius, but it has heat shields that will maintain the temperature of the planet. Instrument below 30 degrees.
and now we are finally going where things are going, "said NASA representative Alex Young, according to the government website
Ikaros plunged according to Greek mythology into the Aegean Sea when his wings melted while he was flying too close to the sun.And even if Parker succeeds his mission, the probe will experience a similar fate – the increasingly narrow trajectories around the sun will inevitably lead to the entry of the spacecraft into our star.
