Proba-3 mission is the European Space Agency’s first attempt at precise formation flying in orbit.
Two spacecraft will loop around the planet in an arrangement that never deviates by more than a millimetre, about the thickness of a human fingernail.
If the satellites operate as intended, they will line up with the sun such that the lead spacecraft casts a carefully controlled shadow on its partner.
Data from the mission should shed light on the mystery of why the corona is so much hotter than the sun itself.
