NASA’s new Parker Solar Probe is getting some intense environmental testing.

00:00:07.130 --> 00:00:13.400
Extreme tests simulate extreme conditions the satellite experiences during launch and beyond.

00:00:13.420 --> 00:00:19.200
Parker Solar Probe was built at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab

00:00:19.220 --> 00:00:25.230
and will explore the Sun’s outer atmosphere.

00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:31.170
Recently, lasers were fired at the spacecraft to test its solar panels.

6
00:00:31.190 --> 00:00:37.280
These panels will power the entire spacecraft as it travels to the Sun.

7
00:00:37.300 --> 00:00:43.580
Near the Sun, the heat shield must withstand temperatures up to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

8
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:49.150
Extreme conditions, indeed!
