When
approaching orbit, Solar Probe Plus will "dive" the surface layers of
the Sun's surface at a speed of 450,000 miles per hour. At this point, he will study ecosystems such as the movement of the Sun storm from subsonic to supersonic.
If it is possible, it will trace the next surface to reveal the origin of the largest solar energy particle in the Solar System.
The
main purpose of this mission is to record the traces of the flow of
solar energy and understand the heat of the Sun's corona, as well as
find out the movement of solar storms in outer space. Solar Probe Plus will certainly also be a major contributor to NASA to provide weather updates to Earth.
Based on a
recent study published by the National Academy of Science, the impact of
sun - including Hurricane sun - could cause damage to Earth for
a total of more than US $ 2 trillion. If the damage continues, the Earth will certainly be threatened.
"Therefore,
it is very important to create a warning system to protect the public
from the threat of global warming, one of which is using technology to
provide weather forecasts directly from outer space," NASA wrote in an
official statement.
"Solar
Probe Plus will be one of our most historic missions, and we hope that
it can be the answer to all human questions about what's in the Sun for
the past five decades."
The Solar Probe Plus spacecraft will be protected by materials claimed to be resistant to heat and solar radiation.
The instrument will be protected with carbon-composite material and thermal protection system with 4.5 inch thickness. NASA claims, this material can protect the aircraft while in the orbit of the Sun with a temperature of 1400 degrees Celsius.
