Parker Solar Probe will swoop to within 4 million miles of the sun''s surface, facing heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it. Launched on Aug. 12, 2018, Parker Solar Probe will provide new data on solar activity and make critical contributions to our ability to forecast major space-weather events that impact life on Earth.
While these switchbacks appear in the solar wind, they are absent in the corona. This discovery challenges the idea that magnetic field collisions on the sun''s surface create switchbacks, suggesting other mechanisms at play. Further data from the probe is needed to test new hypotheses. Parker Solar Probe Unveils Mysteries

RFI/EMI Current Probes and Injection Probes
Learn how to test solar panels with and without a multimeter. We cover testing and measuring solar panel output, watts, amps, and voltage. ... To do so, plug the black probe into the COM terminal on your multimeter. Plug the red probe into the voltage terminal. Then set your multimeter to the DC voltage setting (and the correct voltage …
This paper describes the design, fabrication, test, and flight performance of the Parker Solar Probe''s solar array. PSP travels closer to the sun than any other spacecraft ever has.
And the Parker Solar Probe''s Faraday cup, a key sensor aboard the $1.5 billion NASA mission launching this summer, earned its stripes last week by enduring testing in a homemade contraption designed to simulate the sun. The cup will scoop up and examine the solar wind as the probe passes closer to the sun than any previous …
Abstract: This paper describes the design, fabrication, test, and flight performance of the Parker Solar Probe''s solar array. PSP travels closer to the sun than any other spacecraft ever has. This presented a number of unusual challenges to its array: keeping the cells at an acceptable temperature, preventing inter-cell grouting from deteriorating, testing at …
ARKER Solar Probe (PSP) was launched on 12 August 2018 at 03:31 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a Delta IV expendable launch vehicle, including a third stage. Immediately after separation from the ... of +10°C (test minimum) to +150°C (test maximum/platen) depending on heat load and mission timeline. The

What is Parker Solar Probe? A scientific mission to unlock the mysteries of the Sun''s corona and solar wind. A spacecraft that uses breakthrough technology and autonomy to endure heat and radiation like no other mission . A unique solar observatory that will orbit within 4 million miles of our star''s surface to directly study the formation of …
Though our understanding of the Sun and the solar wind has vastly improved since Parker first theorized the solar wind, there are still questions left unanswered. Two of the most fundamental mysteries – which scientists hope Parker Solar Probe will help solve – are the coronal heating problem and the mechanism behind solar …

How to Test Solar Panels for Common Problems
On its way to the Sun, Parker Solar Probe flew by Venus on Oct. 3, 2018. This wasn''t a detour to do some sightseeing. The probe performed a gravity assist at Venus to help draw its orbit closer to the Sun. Unlike most gravity assists, which help a spacecraft pick up speed, Parker slowed down so that it could swing closer to the Sun.
