the spacecraft is named after physicist eugene paca who predicted the existence of the solar wind sixty years ago one point five billion dollar mission has been 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 its 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 as before. and to be successful it has to survive being showered by energy particles and extreme radiation this extremely hostile environment demands highly developed technology a carbon he chilled with the thickness of twelve centimeters on the probe enters the sun scorching atmosphere its surface will heat up to four

further away from the sun surface the cooler the atmosphere should be the probe is named after eugene paca who formulated the theory of so no wind will be present to watch the launch of the space craft named in his own. in one hundred fifty eight he theorized that a flow of particles accelerated into space from the sun and that proved to be true but scientists still don't know how this phenomenon occurs theoretically such particles should cool down and dissipate the further from the sun they get not speed up so the wind streams could impact satellites in space and g.p.s. radio waves and electrical grids on earth they also cause rural when they crash into the earth's magnetic field and the deflected the probe will begin its first approach to the sun in november as part of its seventy a mission we will go hotter than anything is being before we're in that three million degree plasma region in the corona well gradually we'll close it will take sort of seven giant steps closer to the sun until we're in that final region and as it makes those dives towards the sun surface but palca so the probe
