NASA’s historic Parker Solar Probe mission will launch in summer 2018 to travel through the Sun’s atmosphere, closer to the solar surface than any spacecraft before it, facing brutal heat and radiation conditions – and you can send your name or your kids names along for the ride!
Anyone who wants to can have their name added to a microchip that will be on NASA’s Parker Solar Probe as it flies on it’s scientific mission to the Sun from Earth, so this could be a great opportunity to get more kids interested in science and space.
