More on India’s Solar Mission:
Aditya-L1 is India’s first solar space observatory and is launched by PSLV-C57. The spacecraft will be placed in a “halo orbit around Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million km from Earth.” It will take the spacecraft about four months to travel that distance.
It carries seven different payloads that will help carry out a detailed study of the Sun. According to ISRO, they will “observe the photosphere, chromosphere and outermost layers of the Sun (the corona) using electromagnetic and particle and magnetic field detectors.”
The payloads are also expected to provide “key information for understanding the problems of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, preflare and flare activity and their characteristics, space weather dynamics, particle and field propagation, etc.”
