'India's Solar Mission - Aditya'

After a successful 'moon mission' in the year 2019, the 'Indian Space Research Organisation' ( ISRO ) has set stage for its 'solar mission' - 'Aditya L-1' in the coming year 2020 for solving the mysteries of the Sun.

In his last "Man ki Baat" speech of the the 2019, the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi talked about this mission.

The mission was originally conceptualised in the year 2008 as 'Aditya-1' which concieved a 400 killogram sattelite carrying only one payload - the 'Coronagraph'. The enhanced 'Aditya L-1', however, will be carrying 6 payloads - the 'Coronagraph', ' Solar Ultra - Violate Imaging Telescope', 'Solar Wind Particle Experiment', 'Plasma Analyser Package', 'Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer', 'High Energy L-1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer'. The sattelite will be placed in a 'halo' orbit around the 'Lagrangian Point 1' ( L-1 ) which is 1.5 million killometers away from the Earth. Other than Corona it will also study the 'Chromosphere', the 'Photosphere', and the 'Particle Flux' emanating from the Sun and reaching the L-1 orbit.
