Synopsis

The Parker Solar Probe is a NASA mission launched in August 2018 to study the sun. Its primary objective is to explore the solar corona and investigate the processes that heat the corona and accelerate the solar wind. The probe is named after Eugene Parker, a physicist who first theorized the existence of the solar wind. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures, the spacecraft uses a heat shield to protect its instruments while flying closer to the sun than any previous mission. The mission aims to provide valuable data on solar activity, helping scientists better understand space weather and its effects on Earth.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
