The European Space Agency's (ESA) Proba-3 mission has returned to contact with ground control after a month of silent communication. The spacecraft had been silent due to an in-flight anomaly, which left its partner, the Coronagraph, potentially ready to resume operations soon. The mission is currently in safe mode and stable, but mission teams are investigating if any parts of it have been damaged. The ESA's mission, launched in December 2024, created the world’s first artificial total solar eclipse using its unique precision formation flying. Observing the corona will help scientists resolve some of the biggest mysteries related to our host star, including how the outermost parts of its atmosphere are 200 times hotter than temperatures on the surface.
