As we know NASA has conducted many space. missions over the years. NASA has reached to moon, mars nd many other mission.
12august 2018,NASA launched a robot spacecraft in space which will reveal the secrets of sun. Itwas launched at cape canaveral veral airforce station at 3:31am mid night.
WHAT IT'S MISSION??
Parker sonar probe will continously revolve around the sun, figuring out unstable environment of the sun. Itwill go to near the external layer of sun called Corona. It will try to know that temperature ofsun corona is 1 million Fahrenheit, so how come surface of sun end up having the temperature 5500 Fahrenheit ??!!
It will solve the mystery of solar winds occur on sun which randomly affect our tele systems, satellite, astronauts, power grids, and radio communication badly.
It will revolve 6 times around the Venus planet to reach 3.8 million miles near the sun. With this covering the path of gravitation of various planets, gravitational path of Mercury may help the space craft to reach near the sun. It would revolve around the sun 24 times taking the time of 7 years.
1.5 million dollars have been spent on this mission.
CONSTRUCTION of space craft.
NASA has built a 8 ft shield for the craft to protect it from sun's heat. This shield approx took a time of 10 years to built.
It is 4.5 inch thick carbon form layer. The side of space craft which is facing the sun covered with white ceramic paint layer which works as a reflector to rays of sun. This layer weigh nearly 73kg.
UZIN NEWMAN PARKER.
scientist Uzin Newman parker was the first person to give the theory of stars relasing energy nd first to tell that solar winds occur on the surface of the sun in 1958. This idea have been given 60 years ago to launch such a space craft which could reveal the secrets of sun.This space craft is given the last name of UZIN Newman parker.
S. Chandershekhar -
this man was only to believe the theory of Parker, when no one could. chandershekhar published his research paper.
