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.
