The Parker Solar Probe just made its closest pass over the surface of the Sun in mission history. It's studying the corona and solar wind.
The Parker Solar Probe is the little engine that just keeps going and going by the Sun. On September 27th, it made its 17th close approach and skimmed just 7.26 million kilometers above the sun’s “surface” layer .
The spacecraft’s most recent accomplishment was set up by a gravity-assist flyby of Venus in late August. During the closest approach, the Parker Solar Probe was moving at 635,266 kilometers per hour . Both the close approach and the CME encounter are just two of many highlights of a mission that’s planned to continue its studies of the Sun and solar environment through mid-2025. So far, the spacecraft is in pretty good shape, considering what it’s experiencing during the mission.
Solar physicists would like to be able to forecast these awesome solar storms. They’ve long wanted to measure the forces that drive CMEs. In particular, they want to know what accelerates the charged particles in the explosions to high speeds. They hope that Parker can give them data on just what’s happening on the Sun as one builds up.
