    Fahrenheit? Do you measure the distance to the sun in hand spans too?

      In the description you will find it in Celsius.

      Why? Are you confused by any measurement that doesn’t require you to count your fingers? Cause that’s where bass ten comes from.

      Not necessarily, 10 fingers isn’t optimal for everything

      Millimetres to Meter: 1000 Inches to foot:12
      Meters to Kilometre: 1000 Feet to Yard: 3
      Yard to a mile: 1760
      Grams to Kilogram: 1000 Ounces to a pound: 16
      Kilograms to a tonne:1000 Pound to ton: 2240
      Its just that simple, lets not have another Mars Climate Orbiter

      I would assume they use SI internally, as is the standard in the scientific community, but these interviews are aimed at the greater (US) public.

      Yet it’s NASA sending this probe. Sure seems to work using their measurement doesn’t it?

    What keeps the probe from rotating and the heat shield facing the wrong way exposing the wrong side to the sun? Very fascinating indeed

      It's done actively via the reaction wheels. They use rotation (gyroscope effect) to stabilize and adjust each axis of the craft. They're mentioned and shown in the video at 2:20.

  • @sharmaaks729
    @sharmaaks729 3 года назад

    The shield could have been made a curve rather than making it flat, so that it could scatter a large fraction of light waves. That could also increase the surface area perhaps. Anyway it is already been doing incredible job. Hats off to the scientists.

  • @feelingzhakkaas
    @feelingzhakkaas 6 лет назад +9

    Very informative and excellent video.
    Is there any heat transfer due to exposed portion of some instruments behind the Heatshield into the probe due to Conduction ?

    So the heatsheild is a sandwich of carbon-carbon composite then a carbon foam and then another carbon-carbon composite. Carbon-carbon composite is carbon fiber embedded in a carbon matrix. So it is "CARBON!!!"

    • @Kantuva
      @Kantuva 6 лет назад +4

      Diamonds are carbon too, but they sure as heck arent good thermal insulators. I quite liked the emphasis they put on correctly saying all the carbon based components the shield has

  • @Thincpad
    @Thincpad 3 года назад

    What's the flame temperature incident on the carbon foam you're showing? And it's about one million degrees centigrade in corona so how does this carbon foam respond to million degrees centigrade temperature?

    • @SciNewsRo

      At closest approach, the probe is “coming within 5.3 million miles (8.5 million kilometers) of the solar surface.”

    Just brilliant design. But I’m curious why they didn’t mention the bone ground up in the heat shield used because of its heat reflective properties.

    2500 Fahrenheit on the front face? 1370C, or 1645 Kelvin.
    That is well past yellow hot, approaching pure white hot. About *exactly* the melting point of mild steel.

  • @SanketDube
    @SanketDube 6 лет назад

    What would be the angular diameter of sun when the Parker Probe is at perihelion?

    • @SanketDube
      @SanketDube 6 лет назад

      Okay now that I have some time... getting back to my own question....
      So using small angle formula:
      Given:
      Dist = Distance from probe to sun = 6,000,000 Kms.
      Dia = Diameter of Sun = 1,392,784 Kms.
      Pi = 3.14159
      Find:
      Theta = Angular Diameter from probe.
      Dia / Dist = Theta / ( 180 / Pi )
      1,392,784 / 6,000,000 = Theta / ( 180 / 3.14159 )
      0.2321306666666667 = Theta / 57.29582790879777
      13.300188 = Theta = Angular Diameter from probe = 798 arcminutes
      Woahh!!!!! 798 arcminutes is HUGE!!
      Hypothetically if you could safely sit on Parker Probe when it's closes to the sun and look at the sun; the sun would look as big as your fist on extended arm.
      Just wow!

    • @stan.rarick8556
      @stan.rarick8556 6 лет назад

      That doesn't seem to be that big (to me).
      Distance to sun about 1/24th AU

    Is it a better insulator than aerogel? Or its just better at high temps?

    • @bennemann
      @bennemann 6 лет назад +4

      My guess is that aerogel's insulation is based on air being trapped inside the gel lattice, and in the vacuum of space that air would seep out, rendering the gel useless. Thus, they need a material whose insulation is not based on trapped air.
