Abstract

Aditya-L1 is an observatory class mission designed and developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to study the Sun and the inner heliosphere. Aditya-L1, currently orbiting around the first Lagrange point L1, is in a periodic halo orbit located approximately at 1.5 million km from Earth on the Sun–Earth line (about 1% of the Sun-Earth distance and closer to Earth). The orbital parameters of Aditya-L1 around L1 are Ax = 208,951 km, Ay = 670,024 km and Az = 120,000 km, where Ax, Ay and Az are semi-diameters of the orbit with an orbital period of 177.86 days. The primary objective of the Aditya-L1 mission is to understand the coronal and chromospheric dynamics of the Sun along with its influence on the heliosphere, especially at the L1 location. To achieve these goals, the spacecraft is configured to accommodate seven payloads of which four are remote sensing and three are in situ experiments. The scientific payloads are designed and developed by various Indian Research Institutes in close collaboration with different ISRO centers. The spacecraft is configured with the modified Mars orbiter mission (MOM) bus and is a three-axis stabilized spacecraft with a lift of mass of 1480.73 kg and power generation of ≈ 1820 W. Pointing stability will be better than 15 arcsec as required by the coronagraph payload. Aditya-L1 payload produces around 240 Gbits of science data per day (≈ 90% data is from the imaging payloads). Planning, coordination, and operation of the spacecraft and the scientific payloads are conducted from ISRO telemetry, tracking, and command network in Bengaluru, India. Aditya-L1 was launched on board the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV C57) at 11:50 Indian standard time (IST) from the second launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota, India on 2 September 2023. It was inserted at the L1 point on 6 January 2024, at 4:17 pm IST. The spacecraft, mission, and operation aspects of the Aditya-L1 spacecraft are discussed in this paper.

Aditya-L1 -天文台级任务:航天器、任务和操作
Aditya-L1是由印度空间研究组织(ISRO)设计和开发的观测级任务,用于研究太阳和内日球层。Aditya-L1目前围绕第一个拉格朗日点L1运行,处于一个周期晕轨道上,位于距离地球约150万公里的日地线上(约为日地距离的1%,更接近地球)。Aditya-L1围绕L1的轨道参数为Ax = 208,951 km, Ay = 670,024 km, Az = 120,000 km,其中Ax, Ay和Az为轨道的半直径,轨道周期为177.86天。Aditya-L1任务的主要目标是了解太阳的日冕和色球动力学,以及它对日球层的影响,特别是在L1位置。为了实现这些目标,该航天器被配置为容纳七个有效载荷,其中四个是遥感载荷,三个是原位实验载荷。科学有效载荷由印度各研究机构与ISRO不同中心密切合作设计和开发。该航天器配置了改进的火星轨道飞行器任务(MOM)总线,是一个三轴稳定航天器,质量升力为1480.73 kg,发电≈1820 W。指向稳定性将优于日冕仪载荷要求的15弧秒。Aditya-L1有效载荷每天产生约240 gb的科学数据(≈90%的数据来自成像有效载荷)。航天器和科学有效载荷的规划、协调和操作由位于印度班加罗尔的ISRO遥测、跟踪和指挥网络进行。Aditya-L1于2023年9月2日印度标准时间11:50在印度斯里赫里哥达省萨迪什达万航天中心(SDSC)的第二个发射台搭载极地卫星运载火箭(PSLV C57)发射。2024年1月6日下午4点17分,它被插入到L1点。本文讨论了Aditya-L1航天器的航天器、任务和运行方面的问题。

期刊介绍: Solar Physics was founded in 1967 and is the principal journal for the publication of the results of fundamental research on the Sun. The journal treats all aspects of solar physics, ranging from the internal structure of the Sun and its evolution to the outer corona and solar wind in interplanetary space. Papers on solar-terrestrial physics and on stellar research are also published when their results have a direct bearing on our understanding of the Sun.
