   A week after the NASA Parker Solar Probe (PSP) made its closest and fastest flyby of the Sun, it is at a healthy distance from the Sun and the heat shield temperature has dropped from 942°C to 158°C.

   As indicated in the previous post, it is currently sending telemetry data to Earth at 40 bits/s.
