NASA Parker Solar Probe send home first detailed update after closest approach to sun

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has succeeded in reaching the closest to the sun, and has sent its data for the first time by going so close to the Sun. The New Year celebrations for NASA doubled when Parker Solar Probe sent the first telemetry to Earth on 1 January. Telemaster is also called Housekeeping Data. Parker Solar Prob has become the first such man -made spacecraft that has managed to reach the closest of the sun so far.

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (Jhuapl) received the first telemeritry of Parker Solar Proble on 1 January. This showed that all systems and science equipment of Parker Solar Prob are correct and are doing their work in a normal way. NASA recently gave information about this while issuing updates.

Jhuapl spokesperson Michael Bakle, who is overseeing the mission, told Space.com, ‘All is still correct with the system and equipment of the spacecraft, it is actually a remarkable space craft!’ The latest telemetry transmission also confirms that Parker Solar Pro was successfully completed the command given in its flight computers. Its scientific equipment was also working properly during the flight.

This means that the space craft has collected valuable data about our stars. It reached 6.1 million kilometers in the radius of the Sun which was not done before any space craft. This is the closest visit to the Sun till now. Parker Solar Prob of NASA flew very close to the Sun on the Christmas eve. One and a half billion dollars have been spent in making Parker Solar Prob.
