Recently, astrophysicists, planetary scientists, cosmologists and other specialists from various countries have completed
They proposed developing a relatively simple but durable probe that could operate in space for over 50 years thanks to a powerful radioisotope energy source.
The Interstellar probe will go into the depths of interstellar space, where humanity has not yet penetrated.For the first time, we will be able to take photographs of the entire solar system and its heliosphere, which will allow us toWe can understand what it would look like to outside observers.
Communication from the European Union of Geosciences
It is assumed that if the probe is launched into space in the early 2030s, then by the middle of the century it will reachThis is about 149 billion km from the interstellar medium.Land.
On board there will be devices for studying the solar wind, cosmic rays and magnetic fields, as well as plasma waves. One more devicewill specialize in the study of interstellar dust particles, and the last two instruments will beis a set of optical and infrared cameras.
Scientists also hope that the devices will be able to capture extragalactic background radiation, the scattered light of the first stars of the Universe.
