Once again, the Solar Orbiter has flown close to Venus. This time, however, the probe was deflected in such a way that it is now leaving the orbital plane. After a particularly close flyby of ...

This record-smashing flyby of the Sun is being accomplished by the Parker Solar Probe performing a gravity-assist from Venus, coming within 240 miles (386 kilometers) of the second planet from the Sun ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is about to make its final flyby of Venus, a crucial maneuver that will slingshot it closer to the Sun than any spacecraft before. This daring mission aims to unlock the ...

At the time of its third Venus flyby on July 11, 2020, the scientists turned the instrument towards Venus hoping to track the changes in the planet's thick cloud cover. “The WISPR cameras can ...

Parker is attempting to be the closest a human-made object has been to the sun. NASA is gearing up for its Parker Solar Probe to do a final flyby of Venus on Wednesday on its way to making history ...

The subsequent Earth flyby then reduced Juice's speed by 4.8 km/s relative to the Sun, redirecting it onto a new trajectory towards Venus, which it is expected to reach in Aug. 2025, according to ...

It is now on course for another flyby of Venus in August 2025. That Venus flyby will boost Juice back out towards Earth, arriving in September 2026 and again in January 2029 to gain two more ...

This was actually the second time Cassini swooped around Venus for a so-called gravitational-assist flyby. It passed within 3,700 miles of the planet's surface before flinging out into the solar ...
