Sun.. some of you probably already knew that NASA has a space probe, named Parker, which was sent to closely explore the star that heats everything that moves in our galaxy. Well, the other day this space probe visited the sun for the third time, and at the shortest distance so far, all part of the mission for which it was sent near it.
Sun.. The Parker probe reached 24 million kilometers from the star, the shortest distance so far, and during its journey it reached a travel speed of 343,100 KM/hour, managing to complete its visit without problems. The probe that cost 1.5 billion dollars should visit the sun more than 20 times before being destroyed by NASA, so we will definitely find out other important information that will be sent by it soon.
The sun. INCREDIBLE announcement made by NASA that AMAZED Humanity
Sun.. So far the Parker probe has sent tens of GB of data about the star, some of it including impressive images recorded from a relatively close distance, but this is only part of the discoveries. The Parker probe also managed to record a lot of data regarding the radiation emitted by the sun, or the heat that reaches the area in its vicinity, a lot of the information being extremely important for humanity.
"Mission controllers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, received a green 'A' beacon from the spacecraft shortly after perihelion, signifying that all systems were working as designed and that the spacecraft space is in good health."
Sun.. Each visit that will be made by the Parker probe near the star will also reduce the distance from it, so that the last one will reach only 6 million kilometers, traveling at a speed of 690,000 KM/h. The last mission should also be the one in which the Parker probe will be destroyed, but everything should only happen somewhere around 2025, after more than 20 missions that will bring it very close to the star.
Sun.. The exploration made by NASA will be of great help in the future, and those from NASA will find out a lot of new information about the star that ensures our life every day.
