- 3. ABOUT ADITYA-L1 • AdityaL1 mission is second astronomy mission of ISRO. • Aditya L1 will observe the photosphere, chromosphere and corona of the sun. • Aditya L1 contains seven payloads in order to get multi-dimensional observation of the sun. In addition to this, Aditya also has soft and hard x-Ray, UV, broadband filter, magnetometer. Magnetometer observes the magnetic field of any object.
- 4. ORIGIN OF THEMISSION • In 2008, ISRO planned to launch a spacecraft to explore the surface of the sun. • It was a 400 KG satellite with one payload ‘the visible emission line chronograph’(VELC) to launch in 800 kilometre Low Earth orbit. • Stepping ahead, ISRO decided to launch a spacecraft to study the sun. • ISRO further gives the name ‘Aditya 1’. Rather, Aditya-1 designed to study only the outer surface of the sun.
- 5. PAYLOADS USED INADITYA-L1 • This mission has highly advanced payloads, or say, instruments to prove it a milestone. Following are those payloads: • Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) • Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) • Aditya Solar wind Particle Experiment (ASPEX) • Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya (PAPA) • Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS) • High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer (HEL1OS) • Magnetometer
- 6. IMPORTANCE OF THEMISSION • NASA on August 12,2018 launched solar probe named Parker Solar Probe to study the Solar winds acceleration and the solar corona. • Solar flares and other disturbances of the sun emits energetic atomic particles and X-rays. • These particles and X-rays affect the radio waves travelling through Earth Ionosphere. It interferes and often causes blackouts on the earth. • Sometimes, solar phenomenon disturbs the Earth’s magnetic field inducing High Voltage fluctuation. • Also, variation in Solar weather can change the satellite Orbit or shorten their lives and even damage on board electronics. • Therefore, Observation of the Sun becomes necessary in order to track Earth directed Storms and the impacts.
- 7. FUTURE GOALS • LunarPolar Exploration Mission:Indian Space Research Organisation and Japan Aerospace exploration energy will collaborate to launch this mission for exploring the research Pole region of the Moon. • RISAT-1A: Rada Imaging Satellite 1A series of research satellites. • Gaganyan: Gaganyan is an ‘Indian skewed spacecraft’.
