This is a poster at EGU 2018 where I describe the parameters and impact frequency of CMEs to be observed by the Parker Solar Probe, when launched in 2018.

The main result is that for every other close approach to the Sun during solar minimum, one coronal mass ejection event is predicted to be observed in so far uncharted in situ territory (< 0.29 AU, which is closer than the closest approach of the Helios spacecraft to the Sun).
