Parker Solar Probe

Description
The Parker Solar Probe is studying the Sun's corona.

Launched in 2018, it's slowly moving towards an orbit around our star, the one used with this addon, which will place it as near as seven million kilometers from the Sun by 2025, thanks to several gravity assists from Venus.

Original 3d model of the probe is here: solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/2356/parker-solar-probe-3d-model/

Thanks to you. There were models for SE 0980 available in forums, personally I'd like to find a way to recreate the path of those probes from the launch date until now, that's why I didn't bother to port them yet. I'll think about it.
