Aditya-L1's
ditya-L1 made history by capturing its first high-energy solar flare in X-ray, paving the way for groundbreaking space research.
1
The High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer (HEL1OS) is the star of the mission, recording the solar flare data with incredible precision.
2
HEL1OS is specially designed to capture the impulsive phase of solar flares, where sudden and explosive energy releases occur.
3
The instrument operates within the wide X-ray energy range of 10 to 150 keV, allowing a comprehensive study of solar flare activities.
4
HEL1OS started its mission on October 27, actively monitoring the Sun for hard X-ray activities, crucial for Aditya L1's success.
5
HEL1OS was developed by the Space Astronomy Group of the U. R. Rao Satellite Centre, ISRO, Bengaluru, showcasing India's space expertise.
6
Solar flares and space weather phenomena can significantly impact life on Earth, affecting power and communication systems.
7
The GOES satellite, operated by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), plays a vital role in solar flare data validation.
8
Aditya-L1's mission is to better understand the Sun's behavior, ultimately leading to improved space weather forecasting and mitigation.
