We are talking about the Aditya-L1 device. Its STEPS sensors now measure energetic and suprathermal ions and electrons more than 50,000 kilometers from Earth.
“These measurements will continue during the flight phase of the Aditya-L1 mission as it moves towards the L1 Sun-Earth point. They will continue as soon as the spacecraft reaches its intended orbit,” the report clarified.
The data collected by the station will allow scientists to study the origin, acceleration and anisotropy of the solar wind and other phenomena of a cosmic nature.
The Indian station became the first mission of its kind in India. He will travel for four months, travel 1.5 million kilometers and reach point L1, where the gravitational forces of the Earth and the Sun will be equal for him, which will allow him to constantly observe the Sun without taking eclipses into account.
