On June 27, 2018, a heat shield, the Thermal Protection System was installed on the probe, as it is designed to protect the probe during its travel through the sun\'s corona to reach as close as 4 million miles from the sun\'s surface. NASA is reportedly planning to launch the probe in August, 2018.(Photo/Agencies)$
