This is how NASA tried to destroy the Parker ship, preparing to bring it to the Sun's exploration

"Love for whips" can be used in this case.

By the end of 2018, NASA was on the road to explore yet any ship in human history of the Universe could do. But before it could cope with the tremendous heat from the fireball, it had to be specially treated and undergo a harsh test to see if it could probe the Sun Surface.

In the last two months, engineers at NASA had a great time, using large-sized speakers, ovens and powerful lasers to destroy the Parker ship.

Parker Sun probe.

More than that to ruin the ship takes 8 years to develop and improve. Surprisingly, it has been developed for 8 years, and by November last year, the new ship was brought for testing.

The first test is a vibration test at the John Hopkins Department of Applied Physics in Maryland. There, they shook the ship violently to make sure that it would survive the launch phase, remaining on the Delta IV Heavy missile system.

One of the Delta Heavy rocket systems will put Parker on orbit of the Sun.

Next, it was transferred to NASA's Goddard Space Center. There, it was immersed in a tremendous sound of 150 decibels (dB) coming from a 1.8-meter-high speaker array. For comparison, at the limit of 85 dB, human ears may have permanent injuries. Parker probe will have to hear that tremendous sound during takeoff.

Parker tested sound resistance.

However, surviving the new launch is a small part of the historic flight to the Sun. At that star's orbit, the ship will have to withstand the solar radiation of extreme power and, at the same time, collect ultraviolet rays to get energy for the ship to use. To test solar panels on the Parker ship, the researchers used a powerful laser beam to lighten each strand in the 44 strips of solar cells that will be installed on board.

This time, the final test will be carried out: whether the Parker will withstand huge amounts of heat. It will fly through the atmosphere outside the Sun, where the temperature can reach more than 1,300 degrees Celsius. The Parker is put into a vacuum heating chamber to determine if its heat shield works properly. as expected.

And here is the temperature test.

To be able to protect the electronic components inside Parker - things that can be completely broken when exposed to extremely high temperatures from the Sun, researchers at NASA have developed a carbon thermal shield " revolutionary, " attached to the outside of the Parker ship so it can safely carry out the Sun mission.

The heat shield was able to withstand both freezing cold and terrifying heat.

If all goes well, the Parker Solar Exploration Ship will give us unprecedented data about the solar wind, about the currents of charged particles that can both produce aurora and can either drain turn an entire atmosphere. We live on the Sun but don't know much about it, it's time to change.
