NASA's Parker created history, Parker reached closest to the Sun for the first time

NASA Parker Solar Probe: The American space agency NASA's solar probe Parker has added a new chapter to space exploration. At 5:10 pm on Tuesday, this spacecraft reached closest to the Sun, which is the closest encounter of any spacecraft built by humanity so far. This spacecraft passed at a distance of only 61 lakh km from the Sun, which is about seven times closer than the previous record.

Speed ​​of 6.9 lakh km per hour

When this spacecraft reached closest to the Sun, its speed was 6 lakh 92 thousand 17 kilometers per hour, making it the fastest than any man-made object built so far. This unprecedented speed and the capabilities of the spacecraft make it a unique mission of space exploration.

Unique ability to withstand temperatures

The Parker Solar Probe has been specially designed so that it can withstand extreme heat. This spacecraft is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1371 degrees Celsius. While approaching the Sun, its temperature had reached about 982 degrees Celsius. This spacecraft has entered the region of the Sun which scientists call perihelion.

Important information during solar maximum

At this time the Sun is in its most active state, called solar maximum. During this time, this spacecraft provides a rare opportunity to study the solar storms and magnetic activities emanating from the Sun. However, at present this spacecraft is out of contact with NASA, but on December 27, it will re-establish contact and send its important information to NASA.

Will go close to the Sun again next year

NASA plans that this spacecraft will go close to the Sun twice again next year. However, the information about how far it will reach from the Sun this time has not been made public yet.

Start and progress of the mission

The Parker Solar Probe mission was launched in 2018. This mission is the fastest mission till date. It reached the orbit of the Sun only 85 days after launching. It had to orbit the Sun a total of 24 times during its entire mission, out of which it has completed 22 orbits so far.

New direction in space science

This mission will not only help in unraveling the mysteries of the Sun by going closer to its surface, but will also give new dimensions to humanity's capabilities in the field of space exploration. The success of Parker Solar Probe shows that even more complex and challenging space missions are possible in the future.

This historic achievement has brought humanity one step closer to the universe. This effort of NASA is proving to be a milestone in the field of science and technology.
