A satellite that generates artificial solar eclipses in space has reestablished contact with its handlers after a month of silence.
The European Space Agency (ESA) announced today (March 19) that it has gotten back in touch with the Coronagraph spacecraft, one of the two satellites that make up its Proba-3 mission. The Coronagraph had been silent since mid-February, when an anomaly knocked it offline.
"Hearing back from the Coronagraph is amazing news, and a great relief! " Proba-3 Mission Manager Damien Galano said in a statement today.
