The paired Proba-3 satellites will have a highly elliptical orbit with an apogee (or top of orbit) of around 60 000 km and perigee of 600 km. Coronagraph observation based on forming an artificial eclipse between the two satellites as well as active formation flying experiments taking place towards apogee, with passive formation flying taking place as the satellites circle closer to Earth.
