The 14 pages that link to Parker Solar Probe, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar windRelated: Its close passes sample the wind near its source.

• Solar windRelated: Its close passes measure solar wind near its source.

• Coronal mass ejectionRelated: Its close solar encounters sample the environment in which ejections form and evolve.

• Solar coronaRelated: Its repeated close passes sample the corona and its escaping plasma.

• Alfvén waveRelated: Its measurements found large Alfvénic magnetic and velocity fluctuations close to the Sun.

• Deep Space NetworkBroader topic: The network supports tracking and communication during its challenging solar encounters.
