180716-N-N0101-303 TITUSVILLE, Fla. (July 16, 2018) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Parker Solar Probe, which contains the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR), is mounted atop its third stage rocket motor at Astrotech Space Operations ahead of the probe’s scheduled launch on Aug. 11, 2018, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. WISPR is the only instrument that will capture images of the Sun's atmosphere on a NASA mission to "touch the Sun" and study the Sun's effects on many of the technologies that the U.S. Navy relies on to conduct missions around the world.
