THE SURVEY OF PARKER SOLAR PROBE
Rohit Raju Nikam*
ABSTRACT
NASA?s Parker Solar Probe mission will revolutionize our understanding of the Sun. The mission will ?touch the Sun,? flying directly through the solar corona, facing brutal heat and radiation conditions and providing unprecedented, close-up observations of the star we live with. These observations will address unsolved science questions such as how the Sun?s corona is heated and how the solar wind is accelerated. It will also benefit humans on the ground by making critical contributions to our ability to forecast major space weather events that impact life and technology on Earth. Such information can shed light not only on how the Sun drives the space environment in our own solar system, but also provide insight into other stars throughout the universe. In this paper we summarize the development of solar probe including working, assembly, inspection and maintenance.
