ISRO set to launch Proba-3 spacecraft to study the Sun's Corona
The ISRO Proba-3 spacecraft is scheduled to launch today at 4:04 PM from Sriharikota, India. This mission, in collaboration with the European Space Agency, aims to study the Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the Corona. The launch was postponed from December 4 due to a detected issue in the satellite's propulsion system. Proba-3 consists of two satellites that will fly in formation, 150 meters apart, to gather data on the Corona. This mission marks a significant step in international space collaboration, showcasing India's capabilities in space innovation. The Proba-3 satellites will provide insights into the Corona, which influences space weather.
