ISRO's workhorse PSLV-XL to launch Proba-3 mission: All you need to know

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch the Proba-3 mission using its reliable PSLV-XL rocket, marking a significant collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). Scheduled for October 2024, the mission will deploy two satellites, Proba-3A and Proba-3B, into a highly elliptical orbit. These satellites will work in tandem to create an artificial solar eclipse, allowing for detailed study of the Sun's corona by blocking out the Sun's direct light. This mission not only showcases advanced satellite formation flying technology but also aims to enhance our understanding of solar phenomena, which could have implications for space weather forecasting and satellite operations. The PSLV-XL, known for its versatility and success in previous missions, will once again demonstrate its capability in supporting international space endeavors.
