ISRO successfully deploys magnetometer boom on Aditya-L1 in Halo orbit

The Hindu  

The Indian Space Research Organisation on Thursday, January 25, said that the 6-metre long magnetometer boom on the Aditya-L1 satellite has been successfully deployed. The space agency said that the magnetometer boom was deployed in the Halo orbit at the Lagrange point L-1, on January 11, 2024. ISRO said that the boom carries two state-of-the-art, high-accuracy fluxgate magnetometer sensors that measure the low intensity interplanetary magnetic field in space. “The deployment occurs in an accordion fashion, controlled by a novel patented Kevlar closed control loop mechanism, with hinges locking the segments into the deployed configuration,” ISRO said.
