The Aditya-L1 Mission of Indian Space Research Organization
Abstract
The Aditya-L1 is the first mission of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) dedicated to solar observations. The spacecraft will be located at the first Lagrangian point and will provide continuous observations of the Sun using remote sensing as well as in-situ measurements. The spacecraft will carry 7 payloads including a coronagraph that will image the corona in visible and IR wavelength and will provide measurements of coronal magnetic field and will study the dynamics of coronal mass ejections; a NUV imaging telescope to study the coupling between solar photosphere and chromosphere and to measure spatially resolved solar spectral irradiance and its variation. There will be two payloads to study the soft X-ray and hard X-ray emission from the Sun, two payloads for in-situ measurements of the charged particles and a magnetometer to study the magnetic field variations during energetic events. Some of the salient features of the experiments on board Aditya-L1 mission will be discussed.
