EADS Astrium have performed for the European Space Agency (ESA) a feasibility study for a low-cost Formation Flying (FF) demonstration mission. This mission, called PROBA 3, is based on 2 microsatellites compatible with a dual ASAP 5 launch to GTO, and is suitable for the full-scale test and validation of future FF mission architectures and techniques. The two satellites are almost identical, except for the optical metrology package, embarked on one satellite only, and for the V capabilities. The Myriade microsatellite platform, jointly developed by CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatial, France) and EADS Astrium, is used as reference for the feasibility demonstration. The original platform is adapted to be compatible with the GTO and includes a mission specific propulsion system, based on mono-propellant and cold gas. The FF Payload includes the R-GPS, the RF metrology, the Optical metrology and a specific FF Interface Unit for the Payload command / control.
