This paper is a detailed analysis of the Parker mission, focusing mainly on the structural description of the probe. The Parker mission represented a turning point in the study of the Sun and the solar wind because, thanks to innovative technologies and a special trajectory, the probe will gradually move closer and closer to the Sun, until it reaches its atmosphere. During its journey, the Parker Solar Probe will observe and analyze our star up close, and thanks to the data retrieved in situ, scientists will be able to try to understand in depth the mechanisms that regulate solar activity, which influences present and future space missions, as well as life on our planet.
Il presente elaborato rappresenta un’analisi dettagliata della missione Parker, focalizzandosi soprattutto sulla descrizione strutturale della sonda. La missione Parker ha rappresentato un punto di svolta nello studio del Sole e del vento solare perché, grazie a tecnologie innovative e ad una particolare traiettoria, la sonda si avvicinerà gradualmente sempre di più al Sole, fino ad entrare nella sua atmosfera. Durante il suo viaggio la Parker Solar Probe osserverà ed analizzerà da vicino la nostra stella e grazie ai dati recuperati in situ, gli scienziati potranno cercare di capire a fondo i meccanismi che regolano l’attività solare, la quale influenza missioni spaziali presenti e future, oltre alla vita sul nostro pianeta.

Abstract
This paper is a detailed analysis of the Parker mission, focusing mainly on the structural description of the probe. The Parker mission represented a turning point in the study of the Sun and the solar wind because, thanks to innovative technologies and a special trajectory, the probe will gradually move closer and closer to the Sun, until it reaches its atmosphere. During its journey, the Parker Solar Probe will observe and analyze our star up close, and thanks to the data retrieved in situ, scientists will be able to try to understand in depth the mechanisms that regulate solar activity, which influences present and future space missions, as well as life on our planet.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
