𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮:
☑️ 𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: Demonstrate precision formation-flying between satellites, maintaining an exact alignment of less than 1 millimeter at 150 meters distance. Which will allow to create an artificial eclipse to study the Sun and its impact on Earth.
☑️ 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮: The satellites' elliptical orbit will take them more than 60,000km from Earth. And each satellite will act autonomously, calculating its position and trajectory with monitoring every 7 days.
☑️ Spain demonstrates its worldwide leadership in guidance, navigation and control (GNC). Proba-3 is the result of years of work and support from institutions such as the @CDTI_innovacion, the Agencia Espacial Española and the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades.
