Introduction to PROBA-3 Mission
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch the European Space Agency’s (ESA) PROBA-3 mission from Sriharikota on December 4.
This ambitious project aims to study the sun and support the development of advanced space technologies.
PROBA, which stands for Project for On-Board Autonomy, is a series of small satellites designed to demonstrate innovative technologies in space.
Key Objectives of the Mission
The main objectives of the PROBA-3 mission include demonstrating formation flying capabilities and enabling precise measurements of solar phenomena.
The mission will consist of two satellites flying very close together, which will allow for advanced monitoring and analysis.
This close formation will help researchers collect invaluable data about the sun’s corona and contribute toward enhancing our understanding of solar activity.
Significance of ISRO’s Involvement
ISRO’s partnership with ESA for the PROBA-3 mission highlights the collaborative effort between nations in the pursuit of space exploration.
Launching from Sriharikota, ISRO will utilize its reliable launch capabilities to ensure the successful deployment of this incredible mission.
This collaboration not only strengthens space research but also fosters international relations in the field of science and technology.
