Graphic showing ESA's Proba-3 precision formation flying mission. A pair of satellites flying in a fixed configuration in space, 144 m apart while lined up with the Sun so that one satellite blocks out the bright solar disk for the other. This will allow continuous views of the Sun’s faint corona, or surrounding atmosphere, for scientific observation.
