What distinguishes ISRO's Aditya-L1 mission from other solar observatories?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. It will study the solar corona from Lagrange Point 1.
Aditya-L1 is India's first dedicated space mission to study the Sun. What distinguishes it is its strategic placement at Lagrange Point 1 (L1), located about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. This unique position allows the spacecraft to view the Sun continuously without any occultation or eclipses. Equipped with seven payloads, it specifically aims to observe the solar corona, photosphere, and chromosphere, providing crucial data on solar winds and space weather patterns that affect Earth’s electronic communication.
