In order to study and understand this explosive give-and-take process taking place between the magnetic fields of earth & sun, Harry Coumnas will soon launch an advanced spacecraft. He has designed this spacecraft along with his team, which includes four well-known astronomers and four scientists. The most peculiar feature of his spacecraft is that it can offer 3-D views of the magnetic reconnection on the smallest of scales.
While talking to the media about the design of his spacecraft, Harry Coumnas said, “ The observatory stretches twelve feet wide & five feet high. It weighs around 32,000 pounds, which I think is the ideal weight of a spacecraft for a space mission like this.” Harry is excited about the launch of his spacecraft and is confident about its success. Right now, he is in Switzerland for a social cause and plans to fly back to the United States this coming Monday.
