The Parker Solar Probe (PSP; previously Solar Probe, Solar Probe Plus or Solar Probe+) [6] is a NASA space probe launched in 2018 to make observations of the Sun's outer corona. It used repeated gravity assists from Venus to develop an eccentric orbit, approaching within 9.86 solar radii (6.9 million km or 4.3 million miles) [ 7 ] [ 8 ] from ...
Within two months of launching, the Parker Solar Probe in October 2018 moved within 26.55 million miles of the sun's surface, breaking the previous mark set by the Helios-2 spaecraft in 1976.
Parker Solar Probe launched in 2018, heading to the centre of our solar system. It had already swept past the Sun 21 times, getting ever nearer, but the Christmas Eve visit was record-breaking.
The Parker Solar Probe appears to have successfully completed a journey to within 3.8 million miles of the Sun’s surface as part of its mission to explore the still mysterious processes that ...
English: As Parker Solar Probe passed through the Sun's corona in early 2021, the spacecraft flew by structures called coronal streamers. These structures can be seen as bright features moving upward and downward in this video compiled from the spacecraft's WISPR (Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar Probe) instrument.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is about to make its closest approach to the sun. The spacecraft will fly within 3.8 million miles of the solar surface. The spacecraft is collecting essential data that ...
IS☉IS hardware being prepared for its mission, EPI-Lo hardware shown in 2017. Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun or IS☉IS, is an instrument aboard the Parker Solar Probe, a space probe designed to study the Sun. IS☉IS is focused on measuring energetic particles from the Sun, including electrons, protons, and ions. [1]
