How many years will ISRO's Aditya L1 operate..?
Indian Space Research Organization's Aditya L1 spacecraft will operate for 5 years. It will study the various changes taking place on the surdata-face of the Sun. ISRO's first solar probe Aditya L1 has successfully reached the L1 point as planned. Following the US, Germany, and the european union, india has also achieved the feat by launching its solar probe.
Aditya-L1 is designed to study the Sun's upper atmosphere (chromosphere and corona) and its interaction with the solar wind. It aims to understand the physics of partially ionized plasma in the solar atmosphere. The spacecraft will investigate the heating mechanisms of the solar corona. It will also observe the initiation and development of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares. It will study the plasma environment near the sun and characterize the magnetic field in the solar corona. It will also study space weather.
The Aditya L1 spacecraft will carry seven payloads to study the Sun's corona, chromosphere, photosphere, and solar wind. Four remote sensing payloads (VELC, SUIT, SoLEXS, HEL1OS) will image the Sun's atmosphere in different wavelengths of light. These include ultraviolet and X-rays. Three other payloads, ASPEX, PAPA, and wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital magnetometers will measure the solar wind and magnetosphere.
