Parker Solar Probe's Final Venus Flyby Set to Propel Spacecraft Toward Record-Breaking Sun Encounter
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is about to make its final gravity assist flyby of Venus on November 6, 2024, a key maneuver that will adjust its trajectory as it sets course for the closest-ever approach to the Sun. After this flyby, Parker will come within just 3.86 million miles of the Sun on December 24, 2024, breaking records and allowing scientists to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere (the corona) and solar wind at unprecedented proximity.
