European Space Agency Re-establishes Contact with Lost Proba-3 Spacecraft

Kathmandu. The European Space Agency announced on Thursday that it has re-established communication with a spacecraft that is part of its Proba-3 mission, after losing contact with it a month ago.

Launched in 2024 for a two-year mission, Proba-3 uses two spacecraft flying in precise formation to simulate a solar eclipse from over 60,000 kilometers above Earth.
