Aditya-L1's PAPA detects impact of coronal mass ejections on solar wind
Friday, 23 February 2024 Isro's Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya (PAPA) on Aditya-L1 satellite has successfully detected the impact of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on solar wind. PAPA's sensors measure electrons and ions, detect direction of solar wind particles, and record spectra, providing real-time data on conditions at the L1 point.
Two powerful solar flares, an X1.8-class and an X1.7-class, erupted from the sun on Feb. 21 and Feb. 22. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported no observed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) yet issued an alert for a solar radio emission. Widespread cellphone outages were...
