Proba-3: Why studying Sun, space weather have become imminent

Firstpost  

Proba-3 builds on the legacy of ESA’s earlier solar missions, the Proba-1 and the Proba-2, which were also launched using ISRO's launch vehicles. Image Credit: ISRO On December 5, 2024, the Indian Space Research Organisation successfully launched the PSLV-C59 vehicle carrying the Proba-3 spacecraft into a highly elliptical orbit. The other two instruments onboard of Proba-3 include the Digital Absolute Radiometer to keep a nonstop measurement of the Sun’s total energy output and the 3D Energetic Electron Spectrometer for measuring electron fluxes as it passes through Earth’s radiation belts, and this information would be important for space weather studies. It is expected that the Proba-3 satellite would contribute much towards increasing understanding about the Sun’s behaviour.
