Aditya L1 mission is an important milestone as India's first space-based solar observatory. Enlist the major scientific objectives and the challenges of the mission.
Main Body
Aditya L1 is the solar observatory launched by India in order to enhance our understanding about Sun & our closest star.
Important milestone: India one of handful nations that have solar observatory, Capability to launch complex mission/perfect injection into L1 Halo orbit
Major objectives:
(II) Solar spectrum study - to see the various emissions of sun
(III) Solar plasma study and observe patterns in plasma emission
(IV) Sunspots and solar cycle monitoring by ensuring accurate detection of solar maxima and solar minima
Challenges:
(II) Deep space working of instruments near the Sun and high plasma bombardment
(III) Accurate readings and sending data in real time
ISRO had overcome all the above challenges and shown that it can undertake complex solar missions like NASA, ESA.
