Aditya-L1 satellite's PAPA payload successfully monitors solar storm impact on solar wind

India TV News  

The Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya onboard the Aditya-L1 satellite has achieved a significant milestone by detecting the effects of coronal mass ejections on solar wind. Sensors and functionality PAPA consists of two sensors: the Solar Wind Electron Energy Probe and the Solar Wind Ion Composition Analyser. Operational Status and observations According to ISRO, since December 12, both sensors have been operational, collecting data on the composition of solar wind particles. Data analysis from December 15 revealed a sudden increase in particle counts, consistent with changes in solar wind observed by other satellites.
