I do - I'm on the Parker Solar Probe team, specifically the one for the energetic particle instrument. PSP has already flown closer to the Sun than any human-made object ever has. But, by 2024 it will get close enough to be flying through the outer portions of the solar corona, an amazing accomplishment that required some really impressive engineering.
