The present invention relates to a device making it possible to study the solar corona on a space mission requiring the formation flight of two satellites: an occulting satellite (OCC), the role of which is to create an artificial eclipse of the sun from the point of view of a coronagraph (10) onboard a second satellite, called carrying satellite (COR). The invention presents the advantage of proposing a formation flight device intended for a solar coronagraphy mission comprising fixed solar panels (11a), requiring no deployment, thanks to a dissymmetrical accommodation of the coronagraph (10) reflected in a shifting of said coronagraph (10) to a side of the carrying satellite (COR).
