The Aditya L1 mission will carry seven scientific payloads (instruments) to conduct a systematic study of the Sun. With its placement in the special vantage point of L1, the spacecraft will have the advantage of continuously viewing the Sun...
With the help of the Aditya L1 mission, scientists can get access to the most crucial information to understand the problem of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, pre-flare and solar flare activities, and their characteristics, dynamics of space...
Objective: Aditya L1 will study the Sun's corona (Visible and Near infrared rays), Sun's photosphere (soft and hard X-ray), chromosphere (Ultra Violet ), solar emissions, solar winds and flares, and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), and will...
History of Aditya-L1 ::
The scope of the mission has since been expanded and it is now planned to be a comprehensive solar and space environment observatory to be placed at the Lagrange point 1. As of July 2019, the mission has an allocated cost...
VELC :: VELC is the prime payload onboard Aditya-L1, designed as a reflective coronagraph with a multi-slit spectrograph. SUIT is a UV telescope to image the solar disk in the near ultra-violet wavelength range. HEL1OS is a hard X-ray...
The Aditya-L1 mission will take around 109 Earth days after launch to reach the halo orbit around the L1 point, which is about 1,500,000 km (930,000 mi) from Earth. The spacecraft will remain in the halo orbit for its planned mission duration while...
The Indian Space Research Organisation said Sankarasubramanian K has been designated as the Principal Scientist of the Aditya-L1 mission. Aditya-L1 is the first observatory-class space-based solar mission from India.
