A Scattering Shield to Get to Within 10,000 Kilometers of the Surface of the Sun
A NASA NIAC study is developing the technology to get within 0.5 solar radii of the sun. The goal is to scatter 99.9% of the solar radiation. A solar radii is 700,000 kilometers. They want to get to 0 to 10,000 kilometers away from the surface of the sun. In 2018 the Parker Solar Probe …
