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.
