I don't see any information about the end of mission, only "Mission duration 7 years (planned)". what happens in 2026, will it be left in orbit or deliberately crashed into the sun?
Once again, someone has "corrected"--incorrectly--the planned maximum speed of the probe in terms of the speed of light. Someone changed 0.064% of the speed of light to say 0.00064% of the speed of light. And it's always an IP User, so we can't send that person a message explaining his/her error. I'm going to add an invisible note on the Edit page (visible while editing--doesn't show in the article). And here, let me try to tabulate what's been explained--what I'VE explained--here earlier.
Wonderfully informative article in plain, accessible language. My only request is, please explain the unit Gm, preferably in brackets in the text, else in a note. I assure you it is not common knowledge even among those of us who have read space articles their whole lives. Thanks wikipedia and wikipedians everywhere.

Dear all:
I'm not a registered user and, in fact, I do not know how to edit in the wikipedia (apart from my English being too poor). Therefore, I simply make here a suggestion in order to see if someone "more qualified (:))" does it.
In the paragraph "See also" I would add a link to the "Solar Orbiter" page of the wikipedia. In fact, in the "Solar Orbiter" page there is a link to the Solar Parker Probe in the "See also" paragraph.
Thank you very much!!

Hey Scienceadvocacy, regarding HeliOSPP - you can check official JHUAPL website, http://parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu/The-Mission/index.php#Science-Objectives, where there is no mention of it. The only other source I've found is this presentation Stuart D. Bale. "Solar Wind Kinetic Physics and the NASA Parker Solar Probe mission" (PDF).. As it is not mentioned anywhere by NASA and as there is no paper about their results published after several years the PSP is en route, it seems that HeliOSPP was only planned and later abandoned.
