DTU aims to explore Sun through future space technology

DTU Space has collaborated with the European Space Agency (ESA) and several other partners to test future space technology for exploring the Sun.

"This new technology will revolutionize future observation methods in space. We have the opportunity to investigate the Sun's mysterious corona. At the same time, we are developing a new concept for exploring the universe," says DTU Space professor John Leif Jørgensen.

Corona is the atmosphere around the Sun where the temperature reaches about 1-2 million degrees Celsius. Until now it is extremely difficult to observe and explore Corona because the sunlight and extreme heat blinds and destroys the instruments aimed at exploring it.
