How does the parker solar probe touch the sun?
The sun is essentially a sphere of superheated gases and plasma held together by gravity. but how does the parker solar probe touch this power???
Besides the mechanism of the parker solar probe, an efficient Cooling System helped the Parker Solar Probe stay cool ( as it is provided with sensors) as it approached one of the most hostile environments of the solar system. Every instrument and system on board the Parker Solar Probe (with the exception of four antennas and a special particle detector) will be hidden from the sun behind a breakthrough thermal protection system (TPS)—an eight-foot diameter shield that the spacecraft uses to defend itself against the intense heat and energy of our star. The Parker Solar Probe cooling system has several components: a heated accumulator tank that will hold the water during launch.
two-speed pumps; four radiators made of titanium tubes (which won’t corrode) and sporting aluminum fins just two-hundredths of an inch thick. As with all power on the spacecraft, the cooling system is powered by solar arrays—the very arrays it needs to keep cool to ensure its operation. At nominal operating capacity, the system provides 6,000 watts of cooling capacity—enough to cool an average-sized living room .
