A solar probe is a type of spacecraft designed to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the corona, and other solar phenomena. These missions aim to gather detailed data about solar winds, magnetic fields, and the solar processes that impact space weather and can influence conditions on Earth. Solar probes are equipped with advanced scientific instruments to measure particles, electromagnetic fields, and radiation, providing insights into the Sun’s behavior and its effects on the solar system. Notable solar probe missions include NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, which was launched in 2018, intended to travel closer to the Sun than any previous spacecraft, allowing for unprecedented observations of the Sun’s activity.
