It was launched in 2018 and is a mission of the United States' space agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
It is named after solar astrophysicist Eugene Parker and has become the closest human-made object to the Sun.
JAXA is Japan's space agency and is not associated with this mission.
ISRO is India's space agency, which runs missions like Chandrayaan and Aditya-L1, but not the Parker Solar Probe.
