European twin satellite mission bids to create total solar eclipse on demand
Briefly

"The mission will create solar eclipses that last for several hours, revolutionizing our study of the sun and its impact on technology like power lines and GPS."
"This highly technically challenging mission, planned for over a decade, involves two satellites linked by sensors to ensure they remain precisely aligned while orbiting the Earth."
"When in the right orbit, one satellite will release a disk to cover the sun, creating an artificial eclipse lasting up to six hours a day."
"The Proba-3 mission is not only about eclipses; it also serves as a technological pathway for advanced space studies including gravitational waves and black holes."
