Parker Solar Probe - Spacecraft
“PSP will perform its scientific investigations in a hazardous region of intense heat and solar radiation. The spacecraft will fly close enough to the Sun to watch the solar wind speed up from subsonic to supersonic, and it will fly though the birthplace of the highest-energy solar particles.”

The probe will keep cool with a Corona.
Probably some added lime to keep it really cool.

Couldn't NASA avoid the problem of solar heat simply by going at night?
