ISRO’s space craft Aditya-L1 has achieved the first major success to find out the secrets of the Sun. It has given the X-rays of first high-energy emitted by the Sun. In Aditya-L1, the HEL1OS has shown that. This information was given by ISRO on Tuesday. It said that the spectrometer on board Aditya-L1 recorded this the impulsive phase of solar flares during its first observation period on October 29.
Solar flare is a sudden illumination in the atmosphere of sun. These flares include the entire wavelength spectrum in radio, optical, UV, soft X-rays, hard X-rays, and gamma rays. Launched on October 27, the HEL1OS X-ray spectrometer is currently undergoing fine tuning of threshold and Calibration operations. It has since been monitoring the Sun for hard X-ray activity. “The instrument is ready to observe the high-energy X-ray motion of the Sun with fast timing and high resolution,” said ISRO on X.
In early October, TCM (Trajectory Correction Maneuvre) displayed the Aditya L-1 spacecraft for India’s first solar mission for about 16 seconds. At the time, ISRO said that the exercise was necessary to correct the TCM for the evaluation to track the TL1 process on September 19. Aditya-L1 scientists have begun collecting data. The STRIPS (Supra Thermal and Energetic Particle Spectrometer) instrument has begun measuring super thermals and electrons more than 50,000 km from Earth.
