Creating artificial eclipses to study the Sun | Proba-3 explainedIMAGE
esa.int• Dec 3, 2024• 1 min read
Creating artificial eclipses to study the Sun | Proba-3 explainedProba-3 is such an ambitious mission that it needs more than one single spacecraft to succeed. In order for Proba-3’s Coronagraph spacecraft to observe the Sun’s faint surrounding atmosphere, its disk-bearing Occulter spacecraft must block out the fiery solar disk. This means Proba-3’s Occulter ends up facing the Sun continuously, making it a valuable platform for science in its own right.

Five space mysteries Proba-3 will help solveIMAGE
esa.int• Dec 3, 2024• 1 min read
Five space mysteries Proba-3 will help solveESA’s Proba-3 will be the first mission to create an artificial total solar eclipse by flying a pair of satellites 150 metres apart. For six hours at a time, it will be able to see the Sun’s faint atmosphere, the corona, in the hard-to-observe region between the Sun’s edge and 1.4 million kilometres from its surface. This new technology combined with the satellite pair’s unique extended orbit around Earth will allow Proba-3 to do important science, revealing secrets of the Sun, space weather and Earth’s radiation belts.
