NASA's Parker Solar Probe will be launched next summer to travel through the Sun's atmosphere, closer to the solar surface than any previous spacecraft (about six million kilometers), so it will be provided with a thermal plate of 11.5 centimeters thick, able to withstand temperatures of 1,300 degrees and protect the instruments inside.
In its bowels will also bear the names of people who send them to the following address.
Microchip with names
The Parker Solar Probe will transport a microchip full of names it receives from people around the world before next April 27.
Identities can be sent through this form. NASA has released the following video in which Captain Kirk of Star Trek (William Shatner) details the details:
The probe will be located seven times closer to the Sun than any other past mission. The mission will last 6 years and 11 months, a period of time in which it will try to closely monitor solar activity and improve our understanding of solar storms that can affect our planet.
