   The plot below shows Parker Solar Probe's location and speed (relative to the Sun) as it conducts its science operations. The spacecraft is in a highly elliptical orbit around the Sun (the yellow dot at the center of the plot), reaching its aphelion during the course of the mission initially at Earth and eventually closing to the orbit of Venus.

   Will NASA's Parker Solar Probe 'touch the Sun'?

   • 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 bringing it closer, the probe faces brutal heat and radiation to provide humanity with unprecedented observations, visiting the only star we can study up close.

   How fast did NASA's Parker Solar Probe fly?

   • On June 9, 2020, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe signaled the success of its fifth close pass by the Sun, called a perihelion, with a radio beacon tone. The spacecraft completed the fifth perihelion flying within 11.6 million miles from the Sun’s surface and reaching a top speed of about 244,225 miles per hour.

   How did the Parker Solar Probe flyby affect perihelion?

   • Both the NASA and Hopkins press releases say that the flyby reduced the speed of the Parker Solar Probe (relative to the Sun) by about 10%, or 7000 mph. This altered the orbit, bringing perihelion about 4 million miles closer to the Sun than it would have been without the gravity assist.
