Štítek: Parker Solar Probe

The Parker Solar Probe is a NASA spacecraft designed to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the corona. Launched on August 12, 2018, it is the first mission to fly into the Sun’s atmosphere, gathering data to help scientists understand solar wind, solar storms, and how solar energy affects the space environment. The probe uses advanced instruments to measure electric and magnetic fields, plasma waves, and energetic particles, providing critical information about solar activity and its influence on the solar system, including Earth. Its mission aims to answer fundamental questions about solar physics and improve our ability to predict space weather events that can impact satellite operations, communication systems, and power grids on Earth.
