NASA and SpaceX observed a significant milestone as SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft successfully demonstrated its ability to reboost the International Space Station's orbit on Friday at 12:50 p.m. EST. Using its Draco thrusters, the spacecraft adjusted the station's altitude, raising it by 7/100 of a mile at apogee and 7/10 of a mile at perigee over a 12-minute and 30-second operation.

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.
