The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has launched the second set of scientific data from the Aditya-L1 photo voltaic mission.

“The datasets comprise valuable scientific information about the Sun’s photosphere, chromosphere and its outer atmosphere (corona) along with the in-situ particles and magnetic field measurements at first Earth-Sun Lagrange Point L1,” ISRO stated.

Accessible on web site

The Aditya L1 datasets can be accessible from the web site of the Indian Space Science Data Centre (ISSDC) portal.

To entry the Aditya-L1 data by way of ISSDC web site, one has to go to https://www.issdc.gov.in/adityal1.html, navigate to data obtain part. Data could also be accessed straight on PRADAN portal hyperlinks https://pradan.issdc.gov.in/al1 or https://pradan1.issdc.gov.in/al1. “ISRO encourages the community of researchers and students to utilise these datasets. The user manuals to analyse Aditya-L1 payload data are also available on the above web address after registration,” ISRO stated.

The maiden datasets from Aditya-L1 had been launched by ISRO on January 6, and a nationwide meet was organised.

Aditya-L1, at current, is observing the Sun throughout its third revolution within the Halo orbit round Lagrange Point (L1).

The Aditya-L1 mission was launched on September 2, 2023 by ISRO onboard the PSLV C-57 rocket. On January 6, 2024, the spacecraft was efficiently positioned in a big halo orbit round first Earth-Sun Lagrange Point generally known as Lagrange Point (L1). The L1 level is 1.5 million kilometres away from Earth in the direction of the Sun.
