As a result of P2SC system upgrades that were performed on November 9, the processing of LYRA and SWAP data is currently interrupted.
Both instruments are in good health and still collecting data. This data is being received from the satellite and stored securely on ground.
We will process all archives as soon as possible and put the resulting files online when they are ready.
The PROBA2 PI-team welcomes research proposals for the tenth round of its Guest Investigator program for research based on SWAP and LYRA data analysis by scientists outside the SWAP and LYRA PI-teams. 
The second solar eclipse of the year has occurred! On October 25 the Moon passed in front of the Sun once more. This was a special eclipse to us, as it was visible as a partial eclipse from PROBA2’s home country, Belgium. 
On September 24. and 25, 2022 the Space Pole in Brussels organized its Open Days. 
Solar enthusiasts in southern South America (mostly Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay), as well as those in parts of Antarctica, and sailing on the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans had to get their eclipse glasses out! While the Sun was setting in the west, they were able to observe a partial solar eclipse in the evening of April 30.
12 years ago today, on 6 January 2010, the doors of the LYRA instrument were opened for the first time. The observation of LYRA's first Lyman-alpha flare paved the way for much interesting science.
Let’s hope the penguins have their eclipse glasses ready. They will form most of the crowd in the Antarctic that will be able to witness a total solar eclipse on December 4. Fortunately, spectators in parts of southern Africa, South Australia, New Zealand and South America will see a partial solar eclipse, if the weather cooperates of course.
