Living With a Star. Solar Probe Plus will come closer to the Sun than any spacecraft has ever flown - and what it finds could revolutionize what we know about our star and the solar wind that influences everything in our solar system. Artist's concept of the Solar Probe Plus spacecraft as it approaches the Sun. At NASA's request, detailing just how the robotic mission could be accomplished. The study team used an APL-led 2005 study. Solar Probe Plus will use seven Venus flybys over nearly seven years to ...

Solar prominences observed byNASA's STEREO mission. Solar Probe Plus' science objectives fall under two main themes:. Coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. Production, evolution and transport of solar energetic particles. Solar Probe Plus will define the inner boundary conditions of the solar wind and the heliosphere during optimal phases.
