| Name: Dipankar Banerjee Affiliation: Indian Institute of Astrophysics Conference ID: ASI2015_1012 Title : Indian Space mission to probe sun: Aditya 1 Abstract Type : Plenary Abstract : ISRO is most likely upgrading its planned Aditya-1 solar mission from a single payload to a muti-payload observatory. It is proposed to be placed at Earth-Sun L1 point - a place where no Indian space craft has gone before. The observatory will host multi-wavelength instruments with an optical/IR coronagraph, EUV disk imager, two x-ray spectrometers and couple of particle detectors. In this talk I will give an overview on the payloads and major scientific objectives of this mission along with the current status of the mission. |
