ISRO to launch Proba-3 mission for ESA to study the Sun's corona
India's space agency, ISRO, is set to launch the Proba-3 mission for the European Space Agency on December 4. This mission marks the first precision formation flying project aimed at studying the Sun's corona. Proba-3 consists of two small satellites that will create an artificial eclipse. This setup will enhance solar research by allowing for extended observation time of the Sun's outer atmosphere. The collaboration between India and Europe represents a significant advancement in solar studies, differing from previous missions by its unique formation flying technology.
