There Parker probe of the NASAlaunched in 2018 to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere, continues to hold the record as the fastest object ever built by man. With a speed of 635.266 kilometers per houris about 500 times faster than sound, a record it had already achieved on September 27, 2023.
Parker Probe: A Record Destined to Be Broken
The current record of the probe Parker is destined to be surpassed within a few months. In fact, when it gets closer to the Sun in the 2025is expected to reach the impressive speed of 692,000 kilometers per hoursufficient to cover the distance between Washington And Tokyo in less than a minute.
The probe is able to reach these extraordinary speeds thanks to a particular technique. While it orbits the Sunthe probe aligns with the orbit of Venususing the planet’s gravity to create a slingshot effect, thus increasing its own speed.
There mission of the probe Parker not only is there by providing valuable information about the solar atmosphere, but also continues to push the limits of spacecraft speed.
Do you think the probe will reach even greater speeds in the future? Reply in the comments!
