The Tango satellite flying in formation, seven metres away from partner satellite Mango
PRISMA is the first European satellite mission to demonstrate autonomous formation flying at distances between 30 kilometres and two metres. The main satellite, Mango, and its partner satellite, Tango, fly around one another in varying formations as they orbit the Earth. The satellites carry out orbit control and navigation independently.
