Aditya L1 launch: Objectives of India's maiden solar mission
Aditya-L1 observatory is equipped with 7 distinct instruments designed to meticulously examine various layers of Sun
This includes the photosphere, chromosphere, and the outermost layer known as the corona
2
These instruments use electromagnetic particle and magnetic field sensors to conduct their observations
Among these instruments, four have an unobstructed view of the Sun
Remaining three focus on conducting on-site or in-situ investigations of particles and fields within Lagrange Point L1 2
This mission assumes a pivotal role in advancing our comprehension of diverse solar phenomena and their impacts on the interplanetary environment & Earth
These investigations will enhance our understanding of space weather dynamics & behaviour of particles and fields as they propagate through space
