And Nigeria as a nation is still yet to commence pencil production

dynicks:
Great!!....but that's no big deal for we can achieve same......it's a no rocket science achievement..! four years is enough for us to achieve such feat....

This mission will require 55 times more energy than would be needed to reach Mars, according to NASA.

The probe will rely on a series of gravity assists from Venus to slow down its sideways motion, allowing it to get just 3.8 million miles away from the sun's surface.

The historic mission will give us the best opportunity yet to study the star that holds up our entire solar system. And, it's one of the last places within our stellar neighborhood that has yet to be explored.


Roughly 1,400 pounds of solar projection and science equipment are protected by an advanced heat shield, which uses a 4.5-inch thick carbon composite foammaterial between two carbon fiber face sheets.

The probe can be seen above as it was lifted onto the third stage rocket motor

Pencils are manufactured somewhere in Uyo.

Explorer you dae book space for your own post,nah wa oooh

codedflowz:
Wow, this is truly historic
This should answer some critical questions about the sun and its interference with space weather, satellites and a whole lot of other stuffs we can't explain about the sun



Kudos Explorers.

The $1.5billion (£1.17billion) Parker Probe blasted offatop one of the most powerful rockets in the world.

It will eventually hit record-breaking speeds of up to 430,000 miles per hour as it completes 24 orbits of the sun over the course of seven years.

At this speed, it would take two minutes to travel from London to New York.

While orbitting the sun, the craft will swing around Venus seven times, using the planet's gravity to push it closer and closer to our star with each pass; eventually, the Parker probe will get within 3.8 million miles of the sun's surface.

It will make its first fly past Venus in October, and is protected by a revolutionary new heat shield.

That will set up the first solar encounter in November.

It will be subjected to temperatures of roughly 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,371°C) when it comes closer tothe sun than any spacecraft in history but, behind its thick heat shield, it will only feel like a hot summer day, with this sheltered region maxing out at about 85F (29C).

At it's fastest spacecraft went travels at 119miles per second, pictured taking off

Propaganda and lies..after lying they visited the moon...photoshoped everything and it look real...so many reason to believe they didn't..
