Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to launch its Aditya-1 satellite for the Sun in three years, he satellite was originally planned to be launched by 2012,but will now take place only after 2017.
Aditya-I is India's first dedicated scientific mission to study the sun. This is a low-earth orbit (LEO) mission at an altitude of 800 km. It will provide high time cadence sharp images of the solar corona in the Green and Red Emission lines. These images will be used to study the highly dynamic nature of the solar corona including the small-scale coronal loops and large-scale Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). These studies will enhance our current understanding of the Solar Corona and also provide vital data for space weather studies.
The selected payloads and their scientific objectives are provided below:
Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) will study the diagnostic parameters of solar corona and dynamics and origin of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). It can measure the magnetic field of solar corona down to tens of Gauss.
Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) will image the spatially resolved Solar Photosphere and Chromosphere in near Ultraviolet (200-400 nm) region and measure solar irradiance variations.
The Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS) payload is aimed at monitoring the X-ray flares (1 – 30 keV) for studying the heating mechanism of the solar corona.
High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer (HEL1OS) is designed to study hard X-ray emission from 10 keV to 150 keV during the impulsive phase of solar flares.
Aditya Solar wind Particle EXperiment (ASPEX) will study the variation of solar wind properties as well as its distribution and spectral characteristics.
Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya (PAPA) payload is aimed at understanding the composition of solar wind and its energy distribution.
The Baseline Design Review (BDR) for the payloads is completed and the payloads are under development.
