Mission to the Sun

Parker Solar Probe

On the 18th of August, 2018, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe on a mission to the Sun.

It will travel at speeds of up to 690,000 km/h (430,000 mph), and will  approach to within 9.86 solar radii (6.9 million kilometers or 4.3 million miles) from the center of the Sun.
