How NASA's Parker Solar Probe Will Approach the Sun Without Melting

In a few weeks, NASA plans to launch an ambitious mission to "touch the Sun", where a spacecraft will move towards our star and will approach its surface more than any other spacecraft will. has never been in the history of space missions.

The Parker Solar Probe will likely come to 3.8 million miles from the sun's surface, according to a NASA press release. It will fly through the star's outer atmosphere, a region known as the crown, and provide crucial information on the factors that drive a range of particles to the solar system and contribute to millions of degrees of temperature in the area. 19659002] As such temperatures are far beyond the imagination, the survival of a spaceship, even equipped with the finest heat shields, seems impossible – all electronic components on board would melt in a hurry of time. However, NASA is positive that its super-strong probe will make this trip.
