ISRO has successfully placed India’s Aditya-L1 space probe into a halo orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrange’s Point 1 (L1), where it will study the Sun for the next five years. Aditya-L1, designed and realised by ISRO, will carry payloads to study phenomena such as coronal heating, Coronal Mass Ejection, and space weather. The probe’s trajectory and final orbit were meticulously planned to ensure minimal exposure to radiation and provide uninterrupted communication with ground stations.

India’s newly launched Aditya-L1 mission has captured its first solar flare in high-energy X-rays. The mission’s High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer (HEL1OS) instrument spotted the impulsive phase of a solar flare, which occurred less than two months after the probe’s launch. Aditya-L1 resides at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point-1 and carries seven scientific instruments. HEL1OS concentrates on studying X-ray emissions from solar flares, aiming to understand their connection to high-energy particles. The instrument is currently undergoing testing and calibration.
