Question

In 2018, NASA will launch a spacecraft that will travel to the Sun’s atmosphere. Once there, it will collect data that will help scientists understand how the Sun works and why its atmosphere is hotter than its surface. Scientists will use data from this mission to protect space technology from space weather.

Which space technology is most likely being launched to the Sun in 2018?

space probe
space rover
space shuttle
space station

Answer 1
