Bengaluru scientists decode solar eruptions using Aditya-L1 and Proba-3 satellites
Scientists from Bengaluru have successfully combined data from India's Aditya-L1 and Europe's Proba-3 satellites to study solar eruptions. This joint observation provides deeper insights into coronal mass ejections than using a single spacecraft.
Why it matters
International collaboration in space research enhances our ability to predict solar weather, which can impact satellite communications and power grids on Earth.

(ANI Photo) The coronagraph onboard Aditya-L1 (VELC) and Proba-3 (ASPIICS) conducted joint observations of almost the same part of the solar corona in two different types of observations (spectroscopic from VELC and imaging from ASPIICS) BYLINE ONLY FOR ONLINE Bengaluru In a first, scientists from Bengaluru and their international collaborators have analysed scientific observations of solar eruptions and studied the coronal mass ejections (CMEs) by using data derived from India’s Aditya-L1 mission and Europe’s Proba-3. What are the Lagrange points and why is Aditya-L1 headed to one?
