Can We Make A Robotic Space Shuttle Which Can Go Inside The Sun For Its Study?

Because when a space shuttle enters the earth atmosphere its upper surface temperature is almost 7000 degree celcius this is nothing but a plasma layer above the space shuttle and this temperature is 1000 degrees higher than the surface of the sun, this happens for 14 to 16 mins and during this time there is no contact between the space craft and control tower. if we have invented such fibres which can hold the temperature of plasma.then we should find a fibre which can hold the temp of sun atleast for half hour.

    A robotic space shuttle can be developed to send to the Sun but there are some technical problems due to which such a shuttle has not been developed yet. First and the most major problem is the temperature of the Sun. The temperature of the Sun is so high that it can melt any metallic or non-metallic material very easily. First requirement is to develop such a material that does not melt inside the Sun atmosphere. The second most major problem is the distance of the Sun from the earth.

    It requires thousand of year to reach the Sun. Major problem with the distance comes that how to take this much fuel that last this much time that shuttle is able to reach the Sun. Also the fuel can catch fire due to the heat of the Sun. These are a few reasons due to which the robotic space shuttle has not been sent to the Sun. Might be in the coming years a project for the sending of space shuttle to the Sun is made but in the recent times there is no project running for the space shuttle to be sent towards the Sun.
