Drumroll, please… it’s #Proba3 time! Flying 150 metres apart with millimetric precision, our satellite duo created a total solar eclipse in orbit, capturing the Sun’s mysterious corona☀️Check out the images resulting from this impressive technological feat 👉.
Breaking space news: We have made our own solar eclipse in space! 🌘. Today, we release the first images from our Proba-3 mission, which flies two spacecraft in precise formation to create artificial solar eclipses in orbit. Using a powerful instrument called a coronagraph,
