In Short. The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has successfully completed a crucial “fit check” for the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Proba-3 mission, confirming that the spacecraft are ready for their upcoming launch

The Proba-3 satellites arrived at the launch facility earlier this month and underwent rigorous functional testing to ensure they were unaffected by their journey from Europe.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has successfully completed a crucial “fit check” for the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Proba-3 mission, confirming that the spacecraft are ready for their upcoming launch. 

The two-satellite mission, designed to create an artificial solar eclipse in space, is scheduled for liftoff on December 4, 2024, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India

The Proba-3 mission is a European Space Agency (ESA) project to study the Sun’s corona by using two satellites to create an artificial eclipse

Mission objective

The mission’s goal is to observe the Sun’s corona, which is usually obscured by the Sun’s intense brightness. The mission will also measure the Sun’s energy output to track changes that may affect Earth’s climate

Satellites

The mission uses two satellites, the Coronagraph and the Occulter, to work together to achieve its goals: 

• Coronagraph: The Coronagraph spacecraft will observe the Sun’s corona in visible, ultraviolet, and polarized light.
• Occulter: The Occulter spacecraft is shaped like a solar disk and will fly in formation with the Coronagraph, casting its shadow

What is the Prob 3 mission?

About Proba-3 Mission:

It is the European Space Agency’s (ESA) first mission dedicated to precision formation flying. It is the innovative mission which will demonstrate precision formation flying between two satellites to create an artificial eclipse, revealing new views of the Sun’s faint corona

Yes, ISRO has confirmed that Europe’s Proba-3 spacecraft are fit to fly and ready for integration with the PSLV rocket.
The Proba-3 mission, a collaboration between ESA and ISRO, aims to study the Sun’s corona by creating an artificial solar eclipse in space. The two satellites, Coronagraph and Occulter, will work together to block out the Sun’s bright surface, allowing for continuous observation of the faint corona.
The launch is scheduled for December 4, 2024, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India.
