Do you know which material has the highest melting temperature, it is used in sun missions like Parker Solar Prope, Aditya L1 ??!!

I think tungsten. If i m wrong, plz correct me.

PAVING THE WAY IN CERAMICS
Researchers at the Centre for Advanced Structural Ceramics at Imperial College London are carrying out world leading research into structural ceramics in a range of areas, including materials that could be used in the aerospace industry,
In 2016 PhD student Mr Omar Cedillos has shown that Ultra High Temperature Ceramics (UHTCs) Hafnium Carbide & Tantalum Carbide can withstand temperatures of more than 4050°C rather than the previously reported 3950°C.
such as in heat resistant shielding for the next generation of Hypersonic space vehicle
For Parker solar probe they using Thermal protection & Cooling system.ofcourse they using Tungsten also.
The TPS was designed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and was built at Carbon-Carbon Advanced Technologies, using a carbon composite foam sandwiched between two carbon plates. This lightweight insulation will be accompanied by a finishing touch of white ceramic paint on the sun-facing plate, to reflect as much heat as possible. Tested to withstand up to 3,000 F (1,650 C), the TPS can handle any heat the Sun can send its way, keeping almost all instrumentation safe.

I think it is Maraging steel.
Carbon - carbon composite is used generally high temperature application like solar probe because of it's high temperature resistance and chemical inertness with environment.
