<font color="yellow">22 October 2004<br />Today sees ESA's first ever microsatellite complete three years of successful operations. The size of a large television set, Proba was launched to demonstrate new technologies for future European spacecraft, but continues to provide fantastic images of Earth.</font><br /><br /><br />Go to story on ESA Portal as there are loads of cool pics so I shalln't bother posting it all here.<br /><br />http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMM560A90E_index_0.html<br /><br />Not bad for a technology demonstrator, but then SMART-1 is a technology demonstrator too, Seriously cool. ESA are putting together an impressive science package of missions. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#800080">"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring.
