ISRO floats magnetometer boom of Aditya-L1 into Lagrange Point-1 orbit


- The device will study the mysterious and eerie activity in the Sun and accurately predict solar winds and solar flares.

Bengaluru: The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully floated the magnetometer boom of the Aditya-L1 spacecraft into the halo orbit of Lagrange Point-1 on January 11, 2024. This process was completed in just nine (9) seconds.

The Aditya-L 1 spacecraft is India's first solar exploratory spacecraft. The Aditya-L spacecraft was launched on September 2, 2023 by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-XL. Aditya-L1 spacecraft has successfully and safely reached Lagrange Point-1, 1.5 lakh kilometers from Earth, on January 6, 2024 at 4:17 PM on January 6, 2024, after completing a challenging journey of exactly 132 days.

ISRO sources informed that the Aditya-L1 spacecraft has a total of seven scientific instruments. The magnetometer boom is one of these seven scientific devices. The magnetometer boom is 6 (six) meters (18 ft) in length and is made from carbon fiber polymer. The purpose of the magnetometer boom is to conduct exploratory studies of the Sun's chromosphere (the thin layer of plasma between the Sun's surface and its outer edge—the corona—) and the corona (the outer edge of the Sun). The operation of the magnetometer boom will be very useful to understand and understand the mysterious and terrifying movements in the Sun's giant sphere of hydrogen and helium.

The magnetometer boom also has two state-of-the-art Flexgate magnetometer sensors. Both of these Flexgate magnetometer sensors will also study and measure the low-intensity interplanetary magnetic field in space. These two sensors have been placed three and six meters away from the Aditya-L spacecraft so that they are not adversely affected by the magnetic field emitted by other instruments on board.

ISRO sources presented an important point and said that now through the magnetometer, useful information will be obtained about the mysterious and very turbulent movement in the Sun. That is, the effect of the destructive solar winds and solar flares thrown from the Sun's huge belly will be accurately known how and to what extent the Earth's seasonal cycle and weather-climate are affected. This information can also accurately predict when the solar wind and solar flares will reach the Earth. At the same time, measures to avoid its terrible effects can also be made.
