After the success of Chandrayaan-3, India’s eyes are on Sun. Indian studies are now preparing to study about Sun. For the purpose they have set Aditya-L1 Mission.
The budget of the mission is about 400 Crore INR. ISRO has decided
2nd September 2023 as Aditya L-1 Launch Date. It will reach Lagrangian Point (L1) of the Sun Earth Solar System which is about 1.5 million kilometers from the Earth with the help of ISRO L1 Launch Vehicle is PSLV-XL. From this position it can easily view the Sun without any occultation/eclipses which will help scientist to observe solar activities and its effect on space weather. It contains seven payloads out of which four payloads directly view the Sun and the remaining three payloads carry out in-situ studies of particles and fields at the Lagrange point L1 thus provide important information of the propagatory effect of solar dynamics in the interplanetary medium.
Objectives of Aditya-L1 Mission
- To study upper atmospheric dynamics of Sun which is known as chromosphere and corona.
- To study the physics of the partially ionized plasma, initiation of the coronal mass ejections, and flares.
- Providing information to study the particle dynamics from the sun by observing the in-situ particles and plasma environment.
- Physics of solar corona and its heating mechanism. As well as thorough diagnostics of the coronal and coronal loops plasma including Temperature, velocity, and density.
- To study the topology and measurement of Magnetic field in the solar corona.
- To collect information about the development, Dynamics, and origin of CMEs.
-
To identify the sequence of processes that occurs at chromosphere, base and extended corona.
- Driver for space weather.
