The NASA Parker Solar Probe is a spacecraft launched in 2018 with the mission to study the outer corona of the Sun.
Its goal is to gather data about the Sun's atmosphere, solar wind, and the mechanisms that drive space weather.
The spacecraft will make several close approaches to the Sun, using Venus's gravity to gradually bring its orbit closer to the Sun over time.
This mission aims to provide important insights into solar activity and its effects on Earth's space environment.
