Will there be another Interstellar Probe?
A CNSA space mission first proposed in 2019 would be launched in 2024 with the intention to research the heliosphere. Both probes would use gravity assists at Jupiter and fly by Kuiper belt objects, and the second is also planned to fly by Neptune and Triton.
Will there be a new Voyager?
The new project, known as the Interstellar Probe, could launch sometime in the 2030s. It’s meant to travel faster and farther than any man made object has and probably ever will in the foreseeable future.
Is the Parker Solar Probe still working?
NASA’s daring Parker Solar Probe spacecraft zips past the sun again today. It will zoom close to 5 million miles from the sun’s surface. The Parker Solar Probe is ready to make its 11th close flyby of the sun during its quest to understand how our neighboring star works.
Did the Parker Solar Probe survive?
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has passed into the Sun’s upper atmosphere (the corona) and collected particles and magnetic fields samples. Scientists made the announcement at a conference of the American Geophysical Union on Tuesday 14th Dec 2021.
Will there ever be a Voyager 3?
A third Voyager mission was planned, and then canceled. Apparently, Voyager 3 was cannibalized during construction: I am currently reading the book Voyager: Seeking Newer Worlds In The Third Great Age Of Discovery by Stephen J. Pyne.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. The new milestone marks one major step for Parker Solar Probe and one giant leap for solar science.
How do space probes help us?
Space probes have helped scientists get information about our solar system. The information they gather is used to help us understand the weather and other changes which happen on planets other than the Earth. This information is important in helping to plan other space missions such as ones to Mars and to Saturn.
