High-Level Project Summary
Parker the Spy is a short story created for all to learn about the Parker Solar Probe. How the detective performs its scientific investigations in a hazardous region of intense heat and solar radiation can enthrall the reader. On his journey he met Venus to help him getting close to the sun . He wears a special cloth designed to study magnetic fields, plasma and energetic particles, and the solar wind. Parker the Spy brings in a realistic experience that is bound to arouse the reader's interest in space technology.

Detailed Project Description
Ever thought space technologies can be informed to the general mass in a funny and easy way. Fret not. 'Parker the Spy' is here. Are you a kid more than 10 year old or an adult in seventies? This story can equally entice you just like your favourite literature. It's not only entertaining but you can also learn a lot about the Parker Solar Probe mission.
Every age group from children to adult can have fun by reading through the story , know all the information about flying into the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere, known as the corona. For the first time, Parker Solar Probe employs a combination of in situ measurements and imaging to revolutionize our understanding of the corona and expand our knowledge of the origin and evolution of the solar wind. It also makes critical contributions to our ability to forecast changes in Earth's space environment that affect life and technology on Earth.
We hope that readers take advantage of the information they learn from the story and know about the science of the sun. The primary goals for the mission are to trace how energy and heat move through the solar corona and to explore what accelerates the solar wind as well as solar energetic particles. Scientists have sought these answers for more than 60 years, but the investigation requires sending a probe right through the 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit heat of the corona. Today, this is finally possible with cutting-edge thermal engineering advances that protect the mission on its dangerous journey.
Tools used to write the story include google docs, canva and internet.
Space Agency Data
We used the data that NASA offers regarding a historic Parker Solar Probe mission is revolutionizing our understanding of the Sun, where changing conditions can propagate out into the solar system, affecting Earth and other worlds. Parker Solar Probe travels through the Sun’s atmosphere, closer to the surface than any spacecraft before it, facing brutal heat and radiation conditions to provide humanity with the closest-ever observations of a star.
We use this information to present it in the short story in small capsules that appear at certain events, in order that the listenter does not feel an information overload and children do not get bored while reading the story . Information about the spacecraft and instruments that are re protected from the Sun’s heat by a 4.5-inch-thick (11.43 cm) carbon-composite shield, which needs to withstand temperatures outside the spacecraft that reach nearly 2,500 F (1,377 C). all the information are sorted in these littleinteresting and they are all based on information found on the NASA website.
Hackathon Journey
Our experience in this Space Apps was really cool. We learned a lot about the sun. By studying this star we live with, we can learn more about stars throughout the universe.
The Sun is a source of light and heat for life on Earth. The more we know about it, the more we can understand how life on Earth developed. Moreover how the fusion occurs in the sun can help us create that required temperature on earth to initiate the energy creation technology from nuclear fusion. The Sun also affects Earth in less familiar ways. It is the source of the solar wind; a flow of ionized gases from the Sun that streams past Earth at speeds of more than 500 km per second (a million miles per hour).Disturbances in the solar wind shake Earth's magnetic field and pump energy into the radiation belts, part of a set of changes in near-Earth space known as space weather.Space weather can change the orbits of satellites, shorten their lifetimes, or interfere with onboard electronics. The more we learn about what causes space weather – and how to predict it – the more we can protect the satellites we depend on.
The solar wind also fills up much of the solar system, dominating the space environment far past Earth. As we send spacecraft and astronauts further and further from home, we must understand this space environment just as early seafarers needed to understand the ocean.
What most inspired us to choose this challenge was the impact we saw it would have on children, and we felt that if we had got a cool and informative story as children, we would have been more curious about these important topics, and it is exactly what we want to generate in these new generations. The approach we used was learn by an interesting that will be fun and most important, informative for kids as well as adult. When this challenge we got, we faced it as a team. We never worked alone on a specific task, because by helping each other we could make things better and faster.
