ESA's Proba-3 Mission Demonstrates Breakthrough in Precision Formation Flying
Paris, France (SPX) May 14, 2025 For the first time, the European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission has achieved precise formation flying, maintaining millimetre-level alignment between two spacecraft in orbit without ground control for several hours. The mission's two satellites, the Coronagraph and the Occulter, achieved a 150-metre separation in orbit, effectively acting as a single giant instrument. This alignment was the result of extensive engineering work, including efforts at the European Space Security and Education Centre ... read more
