After a successful launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy Rocket, its passenger, NASA’s Parker Probe, is now on its way to rendezvous with the sun.
Onlookers cheerfully watched as lift off occurred at 3:31am EDT from Space Launch Complex 37 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
The spacecraft, which is roughly the size of a small car, has now officially begun its mission hours before the rise of the very star that it is destined to study.
Once it reaches the sun, the spacecraft will undertake it’s landmark mission, to study and begin a revolution in our understanding of the star that makes life on our planet possible.
