1. • • Space exploration missions always have a planned destination, but sometimes they swing by other planets on the way. Two probes — BepiColombo, headed to Mercury, and Solar Orbiter, en route to the sun — recently passed by Venus at nearly the same time, visiting Earth's sister planet within a day of each other in August 2021.

   Feb 24, 2021 · These Venus gravity assists allow Parker Solar Probe to fly closer and closer to the Sun on its mission to study the dynamics of the solar wind close to its source. But — along with the orbital dynamics — these passes can also yield some unique and even unexpected views of the inner solar system.

   How close is NASA's Parker Solar Probe to Venus?

   • NASA's Parker Solar Probe should have completed its seventh swing past Venus on Nov. 6 — the spacecraft's final maneuver around the amber planet — in a flyby that nudged the probe onto a trajectory that will take it within 3.8 million miles of the sun's surface. That will be the closest that any human-built object has come to our star.

   Will Parker's Venus flyby be the closest human made object to the Sun?

   • It will be the closest any human made object has been to the Sun. Parker’s Venus flybys have become boons for new Venus science thanks to a chance discovery from its Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe, or WISPR. The instrument peers out from Parker and away from the Sun to see fine details in the solar wind.
