As part of their plans to study the specifications of space outside our solar system, European and American astronomers have revealed their plans to design the Interstellar stellar probe, which is expected to move away from Earth to a standard 149 billion kilometers.
This was reported by the press office of the European Science Federation on Earth.
"Interstellar will go to the depths of cosmic space not yet reached by mankind and will provide for the first time an opportunity to take photographs of the Solar System as a whole and the field around it," said a space mission supervisor, Jelena Provornikova.
There were only two trails that had left the borders of the Solar System, namely Voyager- 1 and Voyager- 2, which were currently roaming the cosmic space. His measurements allowed him to study the limits of the Solar System and its surroundings. But some of their devices have broken down and the potential of the rest is still limited. It is therefore expected that they will soon be disconnected.
From this point of view, Yelena Provornikova and her colleagues at the U.S. University of Johns Hopkins recently concluded the process of preparing the detailed draft of the Interstellar probe and developing its tasks.
It should be noted that some 400 astrophysicists, planets and cosmologists participated in the preparation of the scientific programme for the stellar probe.
If launched in the early 1930s, the probe will reach the limits of the space sphere surrounding the Solar System in the middle of the century, then, in the coming decades, it will move away from Earth to a distance of 149 billion kilometres, 1,000 times more than the distance that separates the Earth from the Sun.
