Parker Solar Probe mission,,,Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF)

NASA’s historic Parker Solar Probe mission will revolutionize our understanding of the sun, where changing conditions can propagate out into the solar system, affecting Earth and other worlds. Parker Solar Probe will travel through the sun’s atmosphere, closer to the surface than any spacecraft before it, facing brutal heat and radiation conditions — and ultimately providing humanity with the closest-ever observations of a star.

Fixed investment (gross fixed capital formation) to GDP ratio (at current prices) is estimated to be 26.6% in 2016-17, vis-à-vis 29.3% in 2015-16.
In terms of GDP, the rates of GFCF at current and constant (2011-12) prices during 2016-17 are estimated at 27.1 percent and 29.5 percent, respectively, as against the corresponding rates of 29.3 percent and 30.9 percent, respectively in 2015-16.
