Two spacecraft will fly together as one, maintaining precise formation down to a single millimetre. One will block out the fiery disc of the Sun for the other, to enable prolonged observations of the Sun\u2019s surrounding atmosphere, or \u2018corona\u2019, the source of the solar wind and space weather. Usually, the corona can only be glimpsed for a few minutes during terrestrial total solar eclipses. Proba-3 aims to reproduce such eclipses for up to six hours at a time, in a highly elliptical orbit taking it more than 60 000 km from Earth. The two spacecraft are being launched together by India\u2019s PSLV-XL launcher from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Follow the mission\u2019s deployment and commissioning, up to its first glimpse of the corona, in this overview video.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<label style=\"display: block; font-size: 0.9em; color: #8197A6; margin: 3rem 0 -1rem 0;\">Embed code<\/label><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<textarea rows=\"4\" cols=\"60\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Proba-3\u2019s journey to see the Sun\u2019s corona\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YgdRImH-BAw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/textarea><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Videos\/2024\/11\/Proba-3_s_journey_to_see_the_Sun_s_corona?rand=771654\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The double-satellite Proba-3 is the most ambitious member yet of ESA\u2019s Proba family of experimental missions.
