What else can I help you with?
Have any probes been sent to the sun?
Yes, NASA's Parker Solar Probe was launched in 2018 and is the closest any spacecraft has ever gone to the Sun, studying its outer atmosphere. The probe's mission is to help scientists better understand the behavior of the Sun's corona and the solar wind.
What is the highest flying artificial satellite?
The highest flying artificial satellite is the "Parker Solar Probe," launched by NASA in August 2018. It is designed to study the Sun's outer atmosphere and will gradually approach the Sun, reaching altitudes of about 6.16 million kilometers (approximately 3.83 million miles) from its surface. This proximity allows it to gather unprecedented data about solar phenomena and the solar wind.
What is Mariner 2?
the first encounter with another planet. it was a spacecraft sent by NASA to venus. it measured venus' temperature and is now thought to be orbiting the sun.
What spacecraft have visited the sun?
As of 2021, only the Parker Solar Probe has visited the sun. It was launched by NASA in 2018 with the mission of studying the sun's outer atmosphere and its effects on space weather.
Who flew to near the sun?
The closest spacecraft to the Sun is the Parker Solar Probe, which was launched by NASA in 2018. Its mission is to study the outer corona of the Sun and help scientists better understand solar wind, solar flares, and other solar phenomena.
What was the name of the satellite that explored the sun?
it is impossible to go on the sun. it is far to hot.
Have any probes been sent to the sun?

What are the satellites on Mercury?
Technically a satellite is something in orbit around a planet, so there cannot be any satellites ON Mercury. I will assume you mean satillites in orbit around Mercury. Mariner 10 was the first probe sent to Mercury, however it orbited the sun (i.e. was not technically a satellite of Mercury) however it's prime purpose was to observe Mercury. The probe MESSENGER and the two probes from the BepiColombo mission are currently the only satellites orbiting Mercury.
What is the difference between a probe and satellite?
A satellite is actually a body in orbit around another larger body, it may be a moon, or a machine placed there by us.A probe is a machine sent to a specific place or on a specific course in space. It is equipped with scientific instruments and communications equipment. Examples of probes include: The Voyager probes, or the MERs (Mars Exploration Rovers).Examples of Satellites include: The moon, The International Space Station.And please also answer with what the difference is in escape and orbital velocity!A space probe is colloquially regarded as any machine designed to go into space - usually to investigate other planets, comets, the sun or any other function. A satellite, however, is a space probe that remains in orbit around the earth. The word 'satellite' means 'one who revolves around' or 'one who follows'. Hence the moon is a natural satellite of earth.An artificial satillite orbits another object while a space probe travels farther into the solar system
Will NASA have a mission to the sun?
Have ever nasa try to go near by sun
Who flew to near the sun?
The closest spacecraft to the Sun is the Parker Solar Probe, which was launched by NASA in 2018. Its mission is to study the outer corona of the Sun and help scientists better understand solar wind, solar flares, and other solar phenomena.
Did nasa ever send out astronauts to mercury?
No, NASA has not sent astronauts to Mercury. The extreme temperatures and proximity to the sun make it a challenging destination for a crewed mission. However, NASA has sent robotic spacecraft like MESSENGER to study Mercury from orbit.
What is an organization that monitors the sun?
NASA monitors solar activity through the SDAC at Goddard Space Flight Center. The European Space Agency uses its own satellite and ground observations. And NOAA has substantial resources dedicated to solar study.
Who was the first man to reach the sun?
No one has reached the sun due to its extreme heat and radiation. The closest any spacecraft has come is the Parker Solar Probe, launched by NASA, which will get closest to the sun's surface in future missions.
How cold is a space probe to the sun?
If the space probe is approaching the sun and is always facing the sun, then the probe sun-ward side should be very warm; but overall the probe will be at the same or close to it's internal temperature (unless it doesn't have insulation; in which case it will be about 3 degrees Kelvin - which is the actual temperature of space.)
