A historic mission to achieve the closest approach to the Sun is underway, with NASA’s Parker Solar spacecraft venturing closer than ever before.
The Parker Solar Probe will exit Earth’s outer orbit, embarking on a journey to approach the Sun at an unprecedented distance while enduring the most intense heat ever encountered in such missions.
Scientists have lost contact with Park Solar for several days, they are now waiting for a signal on December 28, if it comes, then it will be fine, otherwise, the spacecraft will be considered destroyed.
It should be noted that a NASA spacecraft is trying to make new history by reaching the closest possible distance to the sun.
The spacecraft named ‘Parker Solar Probe’ is continuously moving towards the outer atmosphere of the sun, enduring the extremely intense temperature and immense radiation emitted by the sun.
Due to severe weather conditions and temperatures near the Sun, the spacecraft has not been able to contact Earth for the past several days.
Scientists are currently waiting for a signal from the mission. Scientists hope that this signal can be received by December 27.
The received signal will show whether the mission was able to overcome the most difficult stages required to get very close to the Sun or not.
It should be noted that the mission is located at a distance of 3.8 million miles (6.2 million kilometers) from the surface of the Sun. This mission will also help scientists know how the Sun actually works.
