(FILES) This handout photograph taken and released by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on December 5, 2024, shows the launch of PSLV-C59 carrying two satellites of the European Space Agency (ESA) Proba-3 spacecraft from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota, south-eastern India. The European Space Agency announced on March 19, 2026, that it has re-established communication with a spacecraft that is part of its Proba-3 mission, after losing contact with the satellite a month ago. Proba-3, which launched on a two-year mission in 2024, uses two spacecraft flying in precise formation to simulate a solar eclipse more than 60,000 kilometres (37,000 miles) above Earth.
