High-flying Proba-3 will survey Earth’s radiation belts

The Proba-3 mission is set to demonstrate technologies needed for highly precise satellite formation flying, while also mapping the radiation content of the space through which it moves. The mission’s 3D Energetic Electron Spectrometer will measure electron fluxes as it passes through Earth’s radiation belts.
