on this week's news update. A mission to investigate the Sun Why giant pandas are losing their habitats and a tiny robot with a lot of skills. First up, thes NASA scientists are building a new spacecraft. It's being fitted with a special heat shield, which is very important because it will be heading to an incredibly hot destination. The sun. It's called the Parker Solar Probe, and it will fly closer to the sun than any spacecraft has done before. One of the probes main tasks is to find out more about the sun's atmosphere, which is called the Corona. It will take measurements and capture images on send them nearly 150 million kilometers back to Earth. Scientists have been working on this project for almost a decade, so there's a lot of excitement about the spacecrafts launch, which is due to take place next summer. Next up, giant pandas live in bamboo forests in the mountains of China. New information suggests the forests that the pandas call home are getting smaller and more broken up. Farming road building on logging are just some of the reasons for the changes to the panda's habitat. Scientists have been using satellite images to study the changing landscape. They hope this information will raise awareness of the growing threat to pandas and increase efforts to protect their habitat. And finally, it's tech be, Oh Theo. There are lots of different robots now. There's even a robot that wears different outfits Meet Primer, created by scientists at M I. T in the USA. It might not look like much at first, but Primer is able to wear different suits known as exo skeletons. Each X of skeleton gives primer a new ability, like being able to move more quickly, float on water and glide. Primer uses heat to attach each new exoskeleton and water to shed it. This research is a step towards building robots that are more adaptable in harsh environments like remote parts of Earth or even other planets. That's all for this week. We'll see you next time
