Super big project NASA: Fly to the Sun.

NASA experts started an unprecedented big project about studying the Sun. They will send this planet a Solar Probe Plus, a solar device close to the solar crown and work in the intermittent ultrasonic flow of particles, very strong radiation and temperatures above 1,000. poison.

According to Cnews, the group of engineers headed by John Hopkins University has completed the design of Solar Probe Plus device and entered the manufacturing phase.

As expected, 2018 will launch Solar Probe Plus. The probe will fly around the Sun 24 times, gradually entering the planet's atmosphere. In the end, the large and medium-sized car spacecraft will approach the Sun at a record distance of 4 million kilometers.

So far, no such probe has reached so close to the Sun and NASA experts will be able to solve the most complex technical problems, to ensure the expected data is obtained.

Solar Probe Plus will carry 5 basic scientific instruments to answer the most important questions: Why is the atmosphere outside the Sun hotter than its own? What makes the solar wind move to affect Earth and the solar system?

The above scientific tools will study the most common particles of the solar wind are electrons, protons and helium ions. In addition, they measure other properties of the solar wind such as electric and magnetic fields, radioactive rays and impact waves.

The materials of the probe, including electronic devices, can withstand the conditions when approaching the Sun because they can withstand temperatures above 1,400 degrees Celsius. At the same time they also withstand the intense bombardment of particles. Very high speed dust, strong radiation and strong magnetic fields.

26-month disbanding, engineers tested various technologies for Solar Probe Plus to 'survive' under harsh conditions and work effectively near the Sun. For example, they have created solar battery cooling systems and exploration equipment. All are tested for all activities in the same conditions as will be encountered in this very complicated flight.
