   Aug 12, 2018 · On a mission to “touch the Sun,” NASA's Parker Solar Probe became the first spacecraft to fly through the corona – the Sun’s upper atmosphere – in 2021. With every orbit, the probe faces brutal heat and radiation to provide humanity with unprecedented observations of the only star we can study up close.

   Did a spacecraft fly through the Sun's atmosphere?

   • "For the first time in history, a spacecraft has flown through the sun's atmosphere, the corona." The Parker Solar Probe actually flew through the corona in April during the spacecraft's eighth close approach to the sun. Scientists said it took a few months to get the data back and then several more months to confirm.
