Mission SOLARIS

High-Level Project Summary

I have developed a story to tell young audiences the story of how Parker Solar Probe became the first human-made object to enter the Sun’s atmosphere—including all the dangers Parker Solar Probe encountered and overcame on its way to the Sun and the lesson we could learn from Parker’s journey. This was supposed to be a digital comic book but due to time restrictions, it has been published as a story. It teaches young audiences not only about the Parker Solar Probe but also an important life lesson that the sky is no longer the limit.

Detailed Project Description

This was supposed to be a comic book but due to time restrictions, it has been published as a story. It contains the adventures of Aelia Solaris and her brother Parker Solaris (and a robot that raps instead of talking) as they accompany the Parker Solar Probe on its journey to touch the sun! The benefit it has is that when young audiences read the story, they'll relate themselves to the main characters and when they're immersed in the story, they'll learn so much about the Parker Solar Probe and its journey to the Sun (with pitstops in Venus' orbit of course!). They learn about the Parker Solar Probe's speed and heat shield, Venus' gravity assists, the extreme temperatures, dust, the solar wind, the northern and southern lights, the ISS and the ionosphere, the magnetosphere, perihelion, aphelion, Alfvén critical surface and so much more, all through a story in simple understandable words. Amidst all this, they'll learn a valuable life lesson-

"With footprints on the moon,

tracks on mars,

With Pluto photographed,

and the Sun touched,

Why merely strive to touch the sky when the Parker Solar Probe has touched the Sun?"

Hackathon Journey

It was an amazing experience. I learnt about the hard work and efforts put in by space agencies throughout the world. I would like to thank everyone who made this contest possible for giving such a wonderful opporturnity!
