The European Space Agency's Proba-3 formation-flying mission is scheduled to lift off Wednesday morning .

The mission will use two satellites to create artificial eclipses in Earth orbit.

It's the fourth flight in the ESA series of low-cost, technology-demonstrating orbital efforts.

The two satellites will be able to study the sun's wispy, unfathomably hot outer atmosphere.
