NASA are planning to send a spacecraft in to the outer atmosphere of the Sun in an ambitious new project.
The spacecraft would be the size of a car and will have to endure temperatures of up to 1400 degrees Celsius before being obliterated. Due to launch in 2018 the probe would be the first to ever visit the Sun.Nasa is aiming to get closer to the Sun than ever before, with plans to plunge a car-sized unmanned spacecraft into the star's outer atmosphere. Scientists hope to launch the Solar Probe Plus (SPP) sometime before 2018.
