Feb 9, 2022 · NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has taken its first visible light images of the surface of Venus from space. Smothered in thick clouds, Venus’ surface is usually shrouded from sight.
Nov 4, 2024 · The flyby will adjust Parker’s trajectory into its final orbital configuration, bringing the spacecraft to within an unprecedented 3.86 million miles of the solar surface on Dec. 24, 2024. 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 ...
Nov 7, 2024 · On November 6, 2024, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed its final Venus gravity assist maneuver, passing within 233 miles (375 km) of Venus’ surface. The flyby adjusted Parker’s...
Aug 12, 2018 · The probe performed a gravity assist at Venus to help draw its orbit closer to the Sun. Unlike most gravity assists, which help a spacecraft pick up speed, Parker slowed down so that it could swing closer to the Sun. In all, Parker Solar Probe will perform seven Venus gravity assists during its mission.
Dec 4, 2019 · They reveal new insights into the processes that drive the solar wind – the constant outflow of hot, ionized gas that streams outward from the Sun and fills up the solar system – and how the solar wind couples with solar rotation.
