Proba-3's ambitious mission requires more than one spacecraft to achieve its objectives. To enable the Coronagraph spacecraft to study the Sun's outer atmosphere, the Occulter spacecraft must block the solar disk. This setup places the Occulter in continuous solar alignment, making it an invaluable scientific platform.

In July 2024, five experimental capsules built by university students endured the intense heat of re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, providing critical data that could advance spacecraft heat shield technology. The capsules were part of the Kentucky Re-Entry Probe Experiment (KREPE-2), and researchers are now analyzing the results to refine heat shield designs used in space missions.

Paris (AFP) Nov 7, 2024
A Chinese rover has found new evidence to support the theory that Mars was once home to a vast ocean, including tracing some ancient coastline where water may once have lapped, a study said Thursday.
The theory that an ocean covered as much as a third of the Red Planet billions of years ago has been a matter of debate between scientists for decades, and one outside researcher expressed some
