Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter are investigating the inner heliosphere and approaching the Sun closer than any previous mission ever has. The state-of-the-art energetic particle instruments aboard the two spacecraft - together with other instruments on multiple spacecraft - present us with a wealth of data that are helping us to understand how the Sun shapes and controls the heliosphere.
Being so close to the Sun allows to disentangle transport effects from the original signatures of particle acceleration at the Sun. The sophisticated remote-sensing instrumentation provides crucial information about the solar source regions.
We will present new results from PSP and Solar Orbiter and provide an update on their current status.
