Launch of Aditya-L1: Eight goals for ISRO's maiden solar mission
The Aditva-L1 project, India's first solar mission, is prepared to launch, thanks to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
The first space-based Indian mission to study the Sun will be Aditya-L1.
On September 2, 2023, at 11:50 IST, the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota will launch the observatory mission.
Here are the mission's eight goals for Aditya-L1.
It intends to investigate the dynamics of the Sun's upper atmosphere (chromosphere and corona).
Additionally, the mission will investigate coronal and chromospheric heating, the mechanics of partly ionized plasma, the beginning of coronal mass ejections, and flares.
It will keep track of the in-situ particle and plasma environment, gathering information for the investigation of solar particle dynamics.
Aditya-L1 intends to research the solar corona's physics and its heating mechanism.
Additionally, the mission will investigate the growth, behavior, and origin of CMEs.
Aditya-L1 will make an effort to pinpoint the order of events that take place at the Sun's various layers (chromosphere, base, and extended corona). These processes ultimately result in solar eruptions.
Additionally, magnetic field measurements and topology in the solar corona will be investigated.
Aditya-L1 will observe and study drivers for space weather, that is, origin, composition and dynamics of solar wind
