OK, I read the wrong row of labels. DSS 34 and 35 at Canberra waiting for SPP's signal. That makes more sense.

The key thing to understand about this launch is that it was in the OPPOSITE direction to Earth's motion. It was basically a retro burn, like a spacecraft in Earth orbit does to reenter and land.

Parker Solar Probe's solar arrays have deployed. They will generate the electricity needed for the spacecraft during its mission. The spacecraft is in good health and operating on its own. Parker Solar Probe has begun its mission to "touch" the Sun.

Parker Solar Probe, Delta IV Heavy Countdown Poll

NASAKennedy

Опубликовано: 12 авг. 2018 г.

In the launch control at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, NASA and contractor managers and engineers monitor progress in the countdown to launch NASA's Parker Solar Probe. The poll is designed to verify that all is ready for liftoff. The spacecraft will perform the closest-ever observations of a star when it travels through the Sun's atmosphere, called the corona. Liftoff is scheduled to lift off at 3:31 a.m. EDT on Aug. 12, 2018.

Опубликовано: 12 авг. 2018 г.

A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket lifts off at 3:31 a.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station carrying NASA's Parker Solar Probe on a mission to the Sun. The mission will perform the closest-ever observations of a star when it travels through the Sun's atmosphere, called the corona. The probe will rely on measurements and imaging to revolutionize our understanding of the corona and the Sun-Earth connection.

NASA has launched its mission to send a probe closer to the sun than any before it. Named after astrophysicist Eugene Parker, the probe will pass Venus in 6 weeks and reach the outer atmosphere of the sun in a further 6 weeks #ParkerSolarProbe

The solar probe was in the works since the '90s. Canceled in 2003. Resurrected in mid-2000s. But the desire for the probe and planning for the mission has been ongoing for 60 years.  :!:   :!:   :!:
