NOTICIA DE LA SETMANA 8: "NASA Launches a Mission for "Touch the Sun""

NASA announced in early April that in the summer of 2018 it will launch the first spacecraft capable of 'touching the Sun'. Or put another way, to come so close to him as to clear many of the unknowns that surround him. The mission will be renamed Parker Solar Probe.

 The Parker Solar Probe will be launched between July 31 and August 19, 2018 and, in the words of mission scientist Nicola Fox, "will answer questions about solar physics with which we have been facing each other for more than six decades."

The probe, designed and built at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory, will conduct 24 "passes" over the Sun over a seven-year mission, to be counted from arrival to destination, to Beginning of November 2018. The Parker Solar Probe will also move at 724,000 km/h and will become the fastest ship ever built by man.
