• Launching in 2024, ESA’s Proba-3 consists of two spacecraft that will fly in formation to create a coronagraph that will study the inner layers of the Sun’s atmosphere.
• India’s Aditya-L1, launched in September 2023, is the country’s first solar mission.
• Launched in 2020, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission is imaging the Sun and huge swaths of its corona up close for the first time.
• Launched in 2018, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is studying the Sun’s atmosphere by being in it, the closest any spacecraft has ever ventured.
• Since 2010, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has been comprehensively mapping the Sun’s active regions to understand how solar flares develop and erupt.
• Since 2006, NASA’s STEREO-A spacecraft has been providing us insights on solar eruptions.
• The ESA-NASA SOHO spacecraft has been observing the Sun since 1995, particularly using its coronagraph to block sunlight in order to better see the corona and track solar eruptions.
