"Sun Probe" is the 11th episode of the first series of Thunderbirds, a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Written by Alan Fennell and directed by David Lane, it was first broadcast on ATV Midlands on 9 December 1965
In this episode, both Thunderbirds 2 and 3 are launched to save a spacecraft trapped in a collision course with the Sun.
At Cape Kennedy, Florida, Colonel Benson oversees the launch of Sun Probe, a manned spacecraft designed to extract matter from the Sun. Some time later, on Tracy Island, most of the International Rescue team watch a live news programme tracking Sun Probe as it nears its target. Brains (David Graham) is absent from the proceedings, having opted to work on developing the abilities of his latest invention – an artificially-intelligent humanoid robot called Braman.
