When proven technologies don't work, you need to invent something new and effective.
No space probe currently in the arsenal of NASA and ESA is capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures of the Sun. This fact cannot but upset astronomers who are eager to study the star more closely: awareness of its nature, features and structure will help scientists to understand the origin of our planet, because the Sun and Earth are directly related.
At the moment, engineers from the European Space Agency are working on creating an unusual satellite that will be reliably protected from the harmful rays of the sun. The fact is that its casing is covered with a dusting of animal bones - it is expected that such a shield will be enough so that the Sun does not burn the device to the ground.
Experts are forced to try out the most dubious ideas, since the flight to the luminary is a priority mission. The processes taking place on it require immediate study.
It is known that the most heat-resistant alloys cannot withstand temperatures above 500 thousand degrees Celsius. Scientists have come up with a creative solution to this problem: the research station will be covered with bone dusting. It is noteworthy that the tests of the aircraft were passed several times and their results were promising.
According to plans, the satellite will be launched in the first half of 2018. The distance between it and the Sun on its arrival will be 40 million kilometers.
