What are the potential long-term impacts of Proba-3's findings on space weather forecasting and mitigation strategies?

The extended observation periods afforded by Proba-3's artificial eclipses will significantly advance our understanding of the sun's corona, including coronal mass ejections. This improved understanding is critical for predicting space weather events, which can impact power grids, communication systems, and even trigger auroras. The technology developed for Proba-3's precise formation flying could also have applications in other areas of space exploration.
