India and Europe's space agencies collaborate together to launch the Proba-3 mission which will study the outermost layer of Sun's atmosphere.

The satellites will be launched onboard PSLV-XL from ISRO's Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on 4 December. The Proba (PRoject for OnBoard Autonomy) missions are a series of in-orbit demonstration (IOD) missions from the European Space Agency, for demonstrating and validating new technologies and concepts in orbit.

ESA's Proba-3 mission, launched by ISRO, will study the Sun’s corona with innovative formation flying technology.

The Proba-3 satellite will be launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) aboard the Polar Satellite Launch vehicle (PSLV) on December 4.

The European Space Agency admitted that ISRO's PSLV is a more cost-effective alternative to its own heavy-lift Ariane-6 and medium-lift Vega-C rockets. The three instruments onboard Proba-3 will help unravel the scientific mystery of why the solar corona is significantly hotter than the sun itself.

ISRO will launch the Proba-3 mission next Wednesday. Two satellites will fly 150 meters apart. One satellite will block the Sun's light. The other sat
