Astronomy / Space The probe "Parker" goes to the sun

If you don't get immediately put off by the numbers, I think its fairly self-explanatory, however I'm not sure what scale they are using. At first I assumed SR was "Solar Radius" but that makes no sense.

There's a nice wikipedia page on the probe here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Solar_Probe FYI

Nice find that. So the plot is showing end of September (09/29/2018) at Venus. Let's see if it will post;

As the mission progresses hopefully Parker might get to parogee speeds comparable with what .. Mercury?
Start laying your bets.
