NASA's Parker Solar Probe is beginning its mission to the Sun after a successful launch Aug. 12 aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket. The mission was first proposed in 1958 by heliophysics pioneer Dr. Eugene Parker, who viewed the launch from Kennedy and anticipates new discoveries from his namesake spacecraft.

Be sure to watch to the end for a Parker Solar Probe Dedication! aurora shows, especially at high latitudes. Two coronal holes are rotating through the Earth-strike zone, which means Earth will be preconditioned for activity! The news for amateur radio operators is not so great, as the last remaining bright region on the Earth-facing Sun rotates to the Sun's backside out of view. Solar flux has dropped and we are back at poor levels for radio propagation on Earth's dayside. Unfortunately, these conditions could easily continue over the next week or more. Learn the details of the coming solar storm, see why GPS users are smiling, and why "CW" for amateur radio operators may be the mode of choice.

NASA launches its Parker Solar Probe to explore the sun's atmosphere.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission launched Aug. 11 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The mission will be the first to fly directly through the Sun’s corona – the hazardous region of intense heat and solar radiation in the Sun’s atmosphere that is visible during an eclipse. It will gather data that could help answer questions about solar physics that have puzzled scientists for decades. Gathering information about fundamental processes near the Sun can help improve our understanding of how our solar system’s star changes the space environment, where space weather can affect astronauts, interfere with satellite orbits, or damage spacecraft electronics. This video is available for download from NASA's Image and Video Library: https://images.nasa.gov/details-NHQ_2018_0812_Parker%20Solar%20Probe%20Mission%20Launches%20to%20Touch%20the%20Sun%20-.html

Following a postponement due to a violation of a launch limit, the countdown again is underway for the liftoff of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, atop a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The probe will rely on measurements and imaging to revolutionize our understanding of the corona and the Sun-Earth connection. Liftoff is scheduled to lift off at 3:31 a.m. EDT on Aug. 12, 2018.

You guys have heard of this right? Just a friendly reminder that it's launching tonight and the Delta IV always puts on a good show.

A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket will launch NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission to the sun. The Parker Solar Probe mission will be the 10th launch of the Delta IV Heavy configuration rocket, which is the only rocket currently flying with the capability of launching this mission.

It will take multiple rockets and a series of gravity assists to put the newest solar probe where it needs to be.

The Parker Solar Probe will be the first-ever mission to "touch" the Sun, traveling directly into the Sun's atmosphere about 4 million miles from the surface. Read the story: https://go.nasa.gov/2KEExYZ NASA launch schedule: https://go.nasa.gov/2JfklMB The Sun contains 99.8 of the mass in our solar system. Its gravitational pull is what keeps everything here, from tiny Mercury to the gas giants to the Oort Cloud, 186 billion miles away. But even though the Sun has such a powerful pull, it's surprisingly hard to actually go to the Sun: It takes 55 times more energy to go to the Sun than it does to go to Mars. Why is it so difficult? The answer lies in the same fact that keeps Earth from plunging into the Sun: Our planet is traveling very fast - about 67,000 miles per hour - almost entirely sideways relative to the Sun. The only way to get to the Sun is to cancel that sideways motion. Since Parker Solar Probe will skim through the Sun's atmosphere, it only needs to drop 53,000 miles per hour of sideways motion to reach its destination, but that's no easy feat. In addition to using a powerful rocket, the Delta IV Heavy, Parker Solar Probe will perform seven Venus gravity assists over its seven-year mission to shed sideways speed into Venus' well of orbital energy. These gravity assists will draw Parker Solar Probe's orbit closer to the Sun for a record approach of just 3.83 million miles from the Sun's visible surface on the final orbits. Though it's shedding sideways speed to get closer to the Sun, Parker Solar Probe will pick up overall speed, bolstered by Sun's extreme gravity - so it will also break the record for the fastest-ever human-made objects, clocking in at 430,000 miles per hour on its final orbits.

In this video, we look at the Solar Parker Probe in detail. First by understanding who Dr. Parker was, and what he theorized about Solar Winds. Then we go into how the probe will make it to the Sun, using multiple gravity assists of Venus. After that, we discuss the Corona of the Sun, and how the probe will be able to survive the high-temperature environment with it’s innovative and autonomous design. Then we look at the different instrument onboard, and what they will be able to tell us about solar winds.

The Parker Solar Probe will help scientists learn more about the solar wind, an exotic stew of magnetic forces, plasma and particles. NASA Science: http://science.nasa.gov/

UC Berkeley's Phyllis Whittlesey, instrument lead for the SPAN electron analyzers, and Davin Larson, institutional principal investigator, discuss the Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) investigation and how it will help scientists make precise measurements of particles in the solar wind.

Johns Hopkins APL's Jennifer Fischer, deputy systems assurance manager, and Research Support Instruments' Mark Boies, WISPR instrument systems engineer, discuss the spacecraft's sole white-light imaging instrument. WISPR - the Wide-field Imager for Solar PRobe (WISPR) - consists of two telescopes that will take images of the solar corona and inner heliosphere. The experiment will also provide images of the solar wind, shocks and other structures as they approach and pass the spacecraft.

On June 27, 2018, Parker Solar Probe’s heat shield – called the Thermal Protection System, or TPS – was installed on the spacecraft. A mission sixty years in the making, Parker Solar Probe will make a historic journey to the Sun’s corona, a region of the solar atmosphere. With the help of its revolutionary heat shield, now permanently attached to the spacecraft in preparation for its August 2018 launch, the spacecraft’s orbit will carry it to within 4 million miles of the Sun's fiercely hot surface, where it will collect unprecedented data about the inner workings of the corona. The eight-foot-diameter heat shield will safeguard everything within its umbra, the shadow it casts on the spacecraft. At Parker Solar Probe’s closest approach to the Sun, temperatures on the heat shield will reach nearly 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, but the spacecraft and its instruments will be kept at a relatively comfortable temperature of about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat shield is made of two panels of superheated carbon-carbon composite sandwiching a lightweight 4.5-inch-thick carbon foam core. The Sun-facing side of the heat shield is also sprayed with a specially formulated white coating to reflect as much of the Sun’s energy away from the spacecraft as possible. The heat shield itself weighs only about 160 pounds – here on Earth, the foam core is 97% air.

The Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe is the only imaging instrument aboard the spacecraft. WISPR looks at the large-scale structure of the corona and solar wind before the spacecraft flies through it. About the size of a shoebox, WISPR takes images from afar of structures like coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, jets and other ejecta from the Sun. These structures travel out from the Sun and eventually overtake the spacecraft, where the spacecraft’s other instruments take in-situ measurements. WISPR helps link what’s happening in the large-scale coronal structure to the detailed physical measurements being captured directly in the near-Sun environment. WISPR was designed and developed by the Solar and Heliophysics Physics Branch at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC (principal investigator Russell Howard), which will also develop the observing program.

The Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun—IS☉IS, pronounced ee-sis and including the symbol for the Sun in its acronym—on board Parker Solar Probe uses two complementary instruments in one combined scientific investigation to measure particles across a wide range of energies. By measuring electrons, protons and ions, IS☉IS will understand the particles’ life cycles—where they came from, how they became accelerated and how they move out from the Sun through interplanetary space The two energetic particle instruments on IS☉IS are called EPI-Lo and EPI-Hi (EPI stands for Energetic Particle Instrument). IS☉IS is led by Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey (principal investigator David McComas), and was built largely at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, and Caltech, in Pasadena, California, with significant contributions from Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland The IS☉IS Science Operations Center is operated at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.

ULA Trajectory Engineer Nick Driver on launching NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission atop ULA's Delta IV Heavy rocket. Usually used for large satellites, in this case the heavy lifter is being used to give a small spacecraft a high-energy delivery to the sun.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe will explore the sun's atmosphere wearing a nearly 5-inch coat of carbon-composite solar shields. According to CNN, the mission is expected to launch in early August. This is NASA's first mission to the sun and its outermost atmosphere. It's not a mission that any human can make, so NASA is sending a roughly 10-foot-high probe on the historic mission. The probe will be closer to the sun than any spacecraft has ever reached before. https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/20/us/nasa-parker-solar-probe/index.html http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

Evan Smith, fault management test lead, and Sanae Kubota, fault management lead engineer - both of Johns Hopkins APL - discuss how Parker Solar Probe's team ensures the spacecraft can protect itself while on its historic mission to the Sun. This includes simulations of potential issues that could possible arise during the mission to make sure the team and the spacecraft are ready for launch.

The FIELDS antennae are a critical part of Parker Solar Probe's science operations. They need to be stowed alongside the spacecraft during launch, and released for deployment when safely in space. Johns Hopkins APL's Jennifer Fischer, Randy Schlotterbeck, and Sarah Bucior explain and perform a test of the release mechanism, known as "clam shells."
