The US space agency introduced the new spacecraft that will launch directly into the sun. It bears the name of a well-known taboo porn astrophysicist who revolutionized knowledge about our star.


During an event broadcast live from the University of Chicago, through NASA TV , the US government space agency presented its new mission: a spaceship that will fly directly into the sun. This is the Parker Solar Probe (PSP), named after Eugene Parker, who in 1958 revolutionized astrophysics with new information about the star of our system and the solar wind, with its study  Dynamics of interplanetary gas and fields Magnetic fields . This document will travel in the space probe, along with photos and comments of the scientist and will leave the earth next July 31 this year, approaching the star king on August 18, 2018. It is designed to withstand high temperatures, more than any Ship built before,

NASA aims to gather information about the life of stars and their meteorological elements, as well as helping scientists to better predict dangerous solar flares. The spacecraft will reach the orbit about 6.5 million kilometers from the sun, seven times closer than the Helios spacecraft, which approached 37.6 million kilometers, which was the closest to the sun so far.

It will measure the activity of the outer solar surface, known as the "crown", and scientists hope to find out which processes make the crown warm, and which accelerate the solar wind.

Watch the sun closely

The idea of ​​studying the sun closely was put into practice by the University of Chicago in 1958, but it is not until now that there are enough materials and technology to build a ship that can withstand so much approach and send information back To Earth for analysis.

The probe, designed and built at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, will run 24 times around the Sun over seven years of operation, from the moment it takes off Earth. The Parker Solar Probe will move at 724,000 km / h. And will, therefore, become the fastest ship ever built by mankind.

The correct functioning and endurance of the PSP depends to a large extent on its front thermal shield, 11.43 cm thick, built with carbon fiber and able to withstand both the high temperatures and the intense radiation shot that will be seen exposed. Three meters behind this shield, the scientific instruments will remain at room temperature.

The sun is possibly the most powerful clean energy available to us. Experts from the Global Alliance of Solar Energy Research Institutes (GASERI) published a study in the journal Science that describes the way forward to generate up to 10 terawatts of solar energy by 2030.
