Proba-3 to continuously monitor Sun's energy output
Paris, France (SPX) Nov 09, 2024
Proba-3's ambitious mission requires more than one spacecraft to achieve its objectives. To enable the Coronagraph spacecraft to study the Sun's outer atmosphere, the Occulter spacecraft must block the solar disk. This setup places the Occulter in continuous solar alignment, making it an invaluable scientific platform. The Occulter is equipped with the Davos Absolute Radiometer (DARA), a c
