the provo fly closer to the sun than any spacecraft ever before its mission is to study the corona or atmosphere around the sun nasa hopes to find out more about what's known as the solar wind which can throw satellites off course and disrupt the power grid on earth scientists have developed a revolutionary new heat shield to protect the probe from the sun's extreme temperature. while the spacecraft is named after physicist eugene parker who predicted the existence of solar wind some sixty years ago nasa has a one point five billion dollars mission is being described as one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by the u.s. space agency. this is a mission solar physicists could only dream of for sixty years. a space probe the can approach the sun close enough to enter into atmosphere. the objective is to

examine how solar flares formed. when currents of electronically charged particles hit the earth they threaten sensitive electronics and satellites that's why scientists want to be able to forecast devastating solar storms. the parker solar probe will gather the necessary data with four instruments this means coming closer to the sun than any other space probe has before. and to be successful it has to survive being showered by energy particles and extreme radiation this extraordinary hostile environment demands highly developed technology a carbon he chilled with the thickness of twelve centimeters. when the probe enters the sun scorching atmosphere its surface will heat up to fourteen hundred degrees celcius the onboard computer has to continually readjust the heat shield so that electronic and measuring devices inside can remain at room temperature and keep

working if the probe falters in some way unprotected parts will simply melt. with every approach to the sun the probe has to fold in its solar panels behind the heat shield only a small part can be exposed to extreme radiation. the probe has been fitted with this cooling system during a flight through the sun's atmosphere it will cool the solar antennas and keep the instruments working the parker solar probe will orbit the sun twenty four times coming closer to the star each time until the end of the year twenty twenty four when it's supposed to make its final approach solar physicists are eagerly anticipating a trove of new data. the u.s. city of charlottesville virginia has been marking one year since the violent white
