ASA will make an announcement about the agencys first mission to fly directly into our suns atmosphere during an event at 11 a.m. EDT Wednesday, May 31, from the University of Chicagos William Eckhardt Research Center Auditorium. The event will air live on NASA Television and the agencys website.
The mission, Solar Probe Plus, is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2018. Placed in orbit within four million miles of the suns surface, and facing heat and radiation unlike any spacecraft in history, the spacecraft will explore the suns outer atmosphere and make critical observations that will answer decades-old questions about the physics of how stars work. The resulting data will improve forecasts of major space weather events that impact life on Earth, as well as satellites and astronauts in space.
