My mission is to get as close to the sun as I can to study the cause of the solar winds which are basically high power plasma waves that come out of the sun.

I am supposed to orbit around the sun and get as close as I can to it .

 

It’s my fourth year up here now I have done about 7 orbits around the sun and visited Venus a couple of times on the way .I’m very exhausted and sweaty but I think I’m close.
