The European Space Agency (ESA) is set to launch the Proba-3 mission, consisting of two satellites, on December 4, 2023, from India's Satish Dhawan Space Centre. These satellites, named Coronagraph and Occulter, will work in tandem to create artificial solar eclipses in space, allowing for detailed study of the sun's corona by blocking out the sun's direct light. This mission aims to provide insights into solar phenomena like coronal mass ejections, which can impact Earth's technology. The launch will be live-streamed, offering viewers a chance to witness this innovative approach to solar observation. The satellites will maintain a precise formation, with the Occulter casting a shadow on the Coronagraph, mimicking an eclipse. This setup not only promises new scientific data but also demonstrates advanced satellite formation flying technology.
