Aditya-L1 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, Aditya-1, in terms of its mission scope and scientific objectives. Originally, Aditya-1 was designed to study only the solar corona, the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere. However, Aditya-L1 has been redefined to a more comprehensive mission.
Aditya-L1 will be positioned at the Lagrange Point 1 (L1), about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, providing an uninterrupted view of the Sun. This strategic location allows it to observe solar activities and their effects on space weather in real time.
The scientific goals of Aditya-L1 include studying the dynamics of the solar corona, solar emissions, solar winds, and flares. It will also monitor the impact of solar activities on the Earth’s climate and space weather. By understanding these phenomena, Aditya-L1 aims to enhance our knowledge of the Sun-Earth connection and contribute to space weather prediction capabilities.
