ISRO's PSLV-XL will launch the Proba-3 mission on December 4, 2024, at 4:06 PM from Sriharikota's Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The mission, a collaboration with the European Space Agency, aims to study the Sun's corona using two satellites: the Occulter Spacecraft and the Coronagraph Spacecraft. These satellites will fly in formation to create artificial solar eclipses and gather detailed observations of solar phenomena. Weighing 550 kg, the mission will enhance solar research, demonstrating precision formation flying and showcasing India's growing role in global space exploration.
