Name a more iconic duo… Parker #SolarProbe and its innovative Thermal Protection System, or heat shield, were brought back together last week in Florida. The heat shield will be reinstalled onto the spacecraft as the mission gets closer to launch. blogs.nasa.gov/parkersolarpro…

Reunited! 😍 Parker #SolarProbe's heat shield (seen here in the white shipping container) has arrived in Florida, where it will stay until it's reinstalled on the spacecraft (in the background) closer to the July 31 launch. blogs.nasa.gov/parkersolarpro…

@Character1031 Hi there! You aren't wrong--the mission started out as Solar Probe Plus and then was renamed last May in honor of Dr. Eugene Parker, who first theorized the existence of solar wind back in 1958. More info here: parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/Sh…

@ParkerSunProbe Was it always Parker Solar Probe? I thought it was Solar Probe Plus, or a different name. Sorry if I am wrong.

The first mission to touch the Sun arrives in the Sunshine state! Find out what I'm up to in Florida (hint: I'm not just there for Spring Break). More here: parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/Sh…

We had a great time at the #NASASocial! Thanks to @SolarGirl2018 for sharing the science behind the spacecraft and all the participants who came out to learn about the coolest hottest mission under the Sun.

@JHUAPL’s Parker Solar Probe team did a fantastic job today at @NASAGoddard explaining the key elements of the mission to reporters! Here’s a group shot of all of us (that’s me in the background 👋🏻) #NASASocial
