Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the PROBA-3 mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) using a PSLV-C59 rocket from Sriharikota
The mission was declared a success, with the spacecraft placed into the correct orbit, and its objectives achieved.
The spacecraft separated and began operations, with signals being received by ESA's mission control in Belgium and Australia's Yatharagga station.
The PROBA-3 mission involves two spacecraft that will perform precise formation flying in space, maintaining a distance of just a millimeter.
These spacecraft will create artificial solar eclipses to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere (corona).
