saac Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 That has to rank amongst the most astounding images ever taken. I'd encourage everybody to read through the full article to understand what the video actually shows. To think that there are things in the universe that were meant never to be seen , yet we dare to do exactly that. What more are we going to achieve if given the time? On a technical note I'd be interested to learn of how they designed the EM protection of the electronics on Parker. I wonder if they had to design novel shielding techniques.

Macavity Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 We hope, after that, there is still something left of the "Chips"? lol I presume the off-axis tracks are e.g. nuclei being "blasted" by the incoming particles etc. etc. 🙀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew s Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 @saac you could start here for how the probe is designed. Regards Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
