Paris, France (SPX) Jun 17, 2025
Proba-3, the European Space Agency's dual-satellite mission, has achieved a historic milestone by capturing its first images of the Sun's outer atmosphere during an artificial solar eclipse in orbit. Using advanced formation flying, the mission's two spacecraft aligned with millimeter-level precision to simulate a total eclipse, enabling high-resolution observations of the elusive solar corona.
