The flybys were needed to give the spacecraft a gravity assist to help them reach their next destinations. Additional information can be found here at About Us. The ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft flew past Venus on 9 August at a distance of 7995 km, while the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission skimmed past at just 552 km from the planet’s surface on 10 August.

Scientists find strange black 'superionic ice' that could exist inside other planets NASA's Parker Solar Probe accomplished a milestone on June 27, 2023its 16th orbit of the sun. Juno peers deep into Jupiter's colorful belts and zones The spacecraft emerged from the solar flyby healthy and operating normally. Science results offer first 3D view of Jupiter's atmosphere The spacecraft will transmit science data from the encounter - largely covering the properties and structure of the solar wind as well as the dust environment near the Sun - back to Earth from Dec. Parker Solar Probe is scheduled to check back in with mission operators at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland - where it was also designed and built - on Nov 24. The spacecraft entered the encounter in good health, with all systems operating normally. The milestone also marked the midway point in the mission's 10th solar encounter, which began Nov. EST (8:25 UTC), with Parker Solar Probe moving 364,660 miles per hour (586,864 kilometers per hour). The close approach (known as perihelion), also at a record distance, occurred at 4:25 a.m. 21, coming within 5.3 million miles (8.5 million kilometers) of the solar surface. Blazing along at space-record speeds that would get it from Earth to the Moon in under an hour, NASA's Parker Solar Probe completed its 10th close approach to the Sun on Nov.
