ISRO’s Aditya L1 records the most powerful solar storm to hit Earth in 20 years

ISRO mobilised all observation platforms and systems to document this geomagnetic storm. Both Aditya L1 and Chandrayaan-2 recorded and analysed the event’s signatures. The ASPEX payload on Aditya L1 recorded high-speed solar wind, high-temperature solar wind plasma, and an increased flux of energetic ions. The Solar Wind Ion Spectrometer (SWIS) captured the enhancement of alpha particles and proton flux.
