How will NASA's 'Solar Touch' plan be carried out?

For the first time, the official man . conquered the Sun, and this time the study will bring unexpected results.

NASA recently published details about a task that is considered to be the most difficult related to the Sun. It is direct launch of the ship to approach the atmosphere of the burning fireball of the solar system .

Specifically, NASA said the mission called Solar Probe Plus will begin in the summer of 2018. They will launch a spacecraft, crossing more than 6 million kilometers to reach the hot surface of the Sun. The images it brings will be about a seventh of a distance away from any other spacecraft.

NASA's plan to touch the Sun.

According to NASA, the purpose of this mission is for us to observe the surface of the Sun at a closer distance. Since then, science will understand how a star works, and give more accurate predictions about the "weather " in the universe.

It is known that experts wanted to send the probe to the Sun for long-term research, but it is now possible.

"This will be the first mission to fly to the Sun" - Eric Christian, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Aerospace Center.

"We will of course not get too close, but the ship will get enough distance to answer many of today's important questions."

To succeed, the ship must withstand a terrible heat, up to 1377 degrees Celsius. So, NASA expects the hull to be more than 11cm thick, with carbon compounds.

Magnetic storms are the cause of killing life on Mars.

NASA also said this was a necessary task. Only by understanding what is happening in the sun can science predict exactly how the "weather" in the universe affects the Earth. With this mission, the ability to predict the impact of the solar storm will be more accurate.

For those who do not know, the Sun emits a lot of wind - it is the gas that explodes from the Sun, flies to Earth at millions of km / h.

It was these winds that once killed Mars, and we have to see if Earth is really safe.
