Spacecraft -top three fastest

Fastest space shuttles

To travel the vast of universe many space agencies including  NASA has designed many space shuttles. The fastest among them are...

1. Parker solar probe

Fastest space shuttle Parker solar probe
Parker Solar Probe Becomes Fastest-Ever Spacecraft. Parker Solar Probe surpassed 153,454 miles per hour — as calculated by the mission team — making it the fastest-ever human-made object relative to the Sun. This breaks the record set by the German-American Helios 2 mission in April 1976.

2.                         Helios-2       

Second fastest space shuttle Helios-2
Helios 2 was the second spacecraft launched to investigate solar processes as part of a cooperative project between the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States in which the former provided the spacecraft and the latter the launch vehicle. It is the second fastest Space Shuttle with the speed of 252,800 km/h.

3. Voyager

Voyager 1 is a space probe that was launched by NASA on September 5, 1977. Part of the Voyager program to study the outer Solar System, Voyager 1 was launched 16 days after its twin, Voyager 2. It is the thirst fastest space shuttle with the speed 62,140km/h.

Even with that fastest speed Parker solar probe will take 19000 years to reach the closest star to the sun- Proxima Centauri..
