PARKER SOLAR PROBE (NASA SPACECRAFT)

Night Sky Network members joined Dr. Kelly Korreck on Monday, August 22, 2022, when she discussed the latest updates from the Parker Solar Probe. What’s up with the Sun? Recent results from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe What is faster than a speeding bullet? What can fly through turbulence without fastening its seat belt? What can tell us about the origins of our solar system at the same time performing its main mission to understand our closest star? NASA’s Parker Solar Probe! The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft was designed to solve 3 mysteries of the sun as well as the very practical goal of furthering our understanding of space weather. The talk will cover Parker’s measurements of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs- billions of tons of material hurling through space at millions of miles an hour - part of space weather), as well as recent Venus encounters and a few other surprises that Parker has discovered! About Our Speaker Dr. Kelly Korreck is a scientist in the Heliophysics Division at NASA Headquarters, where she works with a host of NASA missions and works on science activation and education. Over 20 years working with NASA missions at various institutions, her research has ranged from the Sun’s coronal mass ejections to the remnant shock waves from supernovae. Kelly has also been involved in building spaceflight hardware, worked on a sounding rocket, and, most recently, co-led an instrument suite onboard NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission.

As it orbits the Sun, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe encounters some of the most challenging conditions ever faced by a spacecraft: temperatures up to nearly 1,500° Fahrenheit, space dust that could easily degrade materials and instruments, and intense light and high-speed particles escaping from our closest star. ☀️ But four years after launch, the spacecraft is operating exceptionally well and sending back more than twice the planned amount of science data. https://jhuapl.link/6xo Building a spacecraft to withstand these conditions for years was a monumental challenge. The mission team at APL had to prepare the spacecraft to operate in an environment that had never been explored before. Parker has weathered it all while flying approximately 2.7 billion miles — roughly the distance from the Sun to Neptune — and doing it faster than any mission before. By comparison, NASA’s New Horizons — the APL-led mission that captured the first images of Pluto — took 8 1/2 years to fly the same distance. “We designed to worst-case assumptions for things like the thermal environment and the effects of solar radiation on the spacecraft,” said Jim Kinnison, the Parker Solar Probe mission systems engineer at APL. “We’re pleased that all the hard work during the design phase to define those worst-case assumptions has paid off.”

Presentation by Dr. Adam Szabo Nasa's mission scientist for the Parker Solar Probe. The NASA Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission was launched in August 2018 to explore the Sun’s vicinity making in-situ measurements of the solar wind closer to our star than any previous mission. The objective of the mission is to shed new light on the long-standing question of how is the solar wind heated and accelerated and how solar energetic particles are energized. To answer these questions, local, or in-situ measurements have to be made where the relevant processes operate, namely in the upper solar corona. A number of technical challenges had to be overcome to build a mission that can withstand solar radiation as close as 10 solar radii. PSP is about half way through its prime mission and have not yet reached below 10 solar radii, but it has already revealed new information and perplexing new observations that will be discussed.

Designed, built, and operated by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, is flying closer to the sun than any other spacecraft before. It will pass by the sun 24 times, solving age-old mysteries surrounding the origins of the solar wind and other activity that affects life on Earth. What makes this mission possible is a unique trajectory with flights past Venus, which shape the probe’s orbit and set its course toward the sun. Without them, there is no mission, and there are no great discoveries.   So why is Venus so important to a mission to the Sun? It all comes down to power.   The truth is, no rocket could supply the amount of power required to get Parker Solar Probe as close to the sun as it needs to be. So, we need to borrow force from Venus. It sounds like science fiction, but in reality, spacecraft can leverage the gravity of other planets to speed up, like a slingshot, or to slow down, like tapping the brakes.   This is called a gravity assist maneuver, or a gravity assist.

Parker Solar Probe's mission includes facing some serious space weather occurrences. Solar flares happen when magnetic energy built up on the Sun is suddenly released; coronal mass ejections are large blasts of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun's atmosphere, called the corona. But the spacecraft is not only designed to survive these "great disturbances," it carries specialized instruments that are collecting data on the structure and behavior of the particles and materials streaming from our star. More insight into this activity can help us better predict and prepare for intense solar events that can affect conditions and technologies on and above Earth. It's just one more way Parker Solar Probe shines light on the science of the Sun. Designed, built and operated by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is exploring the Sun like no spacecraft in history. By 2024, the probe will zoom less than 4 million miles from the Sun's surface -- more than seven times closer that any spacecraft has come before -- making discoveries about the solar environment while battling some of the most brutal conditions in the solar system. Learn more about this daring NASA mission of discovery at http://parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu.

As Parker Solar Probe passed through the Sun's corona in early 2021, the spacecraft flew by structures called coronal streamers. These structures can be seen as bright features moving upward and downward in this video compiled from the spacecraft's WISPR (Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar Probe) instrument. Such a view is only possible because the spacecraft flew above and below the streamers inside the corona. Until now, streamers have only been seen from afar. They are visible from Earth during total solar eclipses. More: https://jhuapl.link/yus Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Naval Research Laboratory

The Parker Solar Probe is dipping towards the sun, less than 10 million kilometers from it, closer than anything else built by humans. And this week they announced that the scientific data coming back shows that the spacecraft 'touched the sun'. That's actually a pretty good metaphor to describe the transition from the region of the solar system where the solar wind flows freely into a region where the solar magnetic fields dominate the plasma's motion in the solar Corona. So let's try and explain the visible layers of the sun and why they appear different and distinct to each other.

For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. Touching the Sun is helping scientists uncover critical information about our closest star and its influence on the solar system. https://jhuapl.link/yus As it circles closer to the solar surface, Parker Solar Probe – built and operated by Johns Hopkins APL - is making discoveries that other spacecraft were too far away to see, including from within the solar wind – the flow of particles leaving the Sun that can influence us at Earth. In 2019, Parker Solar Probe discovered that striking magnetic zig-zag structures in solar wind, called switchbacks, are plentiful close to the Sun. Halving the distance to the Sun since then, Parker Solar Probe has now identified one place where those features originate: the solar surface. The first passage through the corona – as well as more flybys to come – will continue to provide data on phenomena that are impossible to study from afar.

For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. The new milestone marks one major step for Parker Solar Probe and one giant leap for solar science. Just as landing on the Moon allowed scientists to understand how it was formed, touching the very stuff the Sun is made of will help scientists uncover critical information about our closest star and its influence on the solar system.

Two years ago, the Parker Solar Probe embarked on a historical journey. Since then, the mission has been changing the landscape of heliophysics. Parker Solar Probe will swoop to within 4 million miles of the Sun's surface, facing heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it. At closest approach, Parker Solar Probe will be hurtling around the Sun at approximately 430,000 miles per hour! That's fast enough to get from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., in one second. So how does the Parker Solar Probe get information from the Sun to the scientists? It takes some careful timing and aiming.

Join Dr. Nour Raouafi as he shares the journey of the Parker Solar Probe and how the data collected impacts us on Earth. The Parker Solar Probe will get as close as 3.8 million miles from the solar surface, that almost 4% of the Sun-Earth distance (i.e., 93 million miles) and on Jan. 21, the spacecraft transmitted a “tone one,” indicating all systems were healthy and operating normally after the spacecraft’s close approach to the Sun and heading into the final stretch of the solar encounter, which runs through Jan. 23. Now just over two years into its seven-year mission, the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft will eventually travel within 4 million miles of the Sun’s surface. It is primarily an exploration mission, and the data returned so far is a treasure trove that holds the potential for breakthrough discoveries. Parker is breaking new boundaries of space exploration by flying halfway between Mercury and the Sun. It is writing a new chapter of space research by revolutionizing our understanding of this mysterious region by answering long-standing questions that puzzled scientists for decades: how the solar wind plasma is heated and accelerated and solar energetic particles accelerated and transported throughout the heliosphere. The analyses of science data show new phenomena and plasma properties not seen before in the solar wind. Tune in to learn about the major, mystifying discoveries that have been made so far, and the upcoming solar encounters. Visit jhu.edu/hopkinsathome to learn more.

Launched in 2018, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe spacecraft, with instruments developed and built by UC Berkeley, has now traveled closer to the sun than any other mission in history, actually penetrating the sun’s atmosphere, to investigate highly charged magnetic field. Now, that data has allowed solar physicists to map the source of a major component of the solar wind that continually peppers Earth’s atmosphere, while revealing strange magnetic field reversals that could be accelerating these particles toward our planet. These accelerated particles interact with Earth’s magnetic field, generating the colorful northern and southern lights but also potentially damaging the electrical grid and telecommunications networks on the surface, threatening orbiting satellites and perhaps endangering astronauts in space.

During a brief swing by Venus, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe detected a natural radio signal that revealed the spacecraft had flown through the planet’s upper atmosphere. This was the first direct measurement of the Venusian atmosphere in nearly 30 years — and it looks quite different from Venus' past. A study published today in Geophysical Research Letters confirms that Venus’ upper atmosphere undergoes puzzling changes over a solar cycle, the Sun’s 11-year activity cycle. This marks the latest clue to untangling how and why Venus and Earth are so different. The data sonification in the video translates data from Parker Solar Probe’s FIELDS instrument into sound. FIELDS detected a natural, low-frequency radio emission as it moved through Venus’ atmosphere that helped scientists calculate the thickness of the planet’s electrically charged upper atmosphere, called the ionosphere. Understanding how Venus’ ionosphere changes will help researchers determine how Venus, once so similar to Earth, became the world of scorching, toxic air it is today.
