On Wednesday, Jan. 17, NASA's Parker Solar Probe was lowered into the 40-foot-tall thermal vacuum chamber at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The spacecraft will remain in the chamber for about seven weeks, coming out in mid-March for final tests and packing before heading to Florida. Parker Solar Probe is scheduled to launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on July 31, 2018, on a Delta IV Heavy launch vehicle.

The Space Environment Simulator at NASA Goddard is opened on March 24, 2018, in preparation for the removal of the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft. The spacecraft spent eight weeks undergoing space environment testing in the thermal vacuum chamber. After about seven more days of testing outside the chamber, Parker Solar Probe will travel to Florida for a scheduled launch on July 31, 2018, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
