据央视新闻 2024 年 1 月 7 日消息,当地时间 1 月 6 日,印度空间研究组织宣布,该国首个太阳探测器 " 日地 L1 点太阳 " 号当天到达预定轨道。印度空间研究组织在声明中说," 日地 L1 点太阳 " 号探测器于当地时间 6 日 16 时左右抵达距地球约 150 万公里的第一拉格朗日点(日地 L1 点)。
探测器在那里可以避免日食和掩星等干扰,对太阳进行持续观测。探测器上携带的多种科学仪器将帮助研究人员进一步了解太阳耀斑和日冕物质抛射等太阳活动。太阳日冕物质抛射可扰动地球磁场,引发强烈地磁暴,干扰卫星、航天器、电网等的正常运行。据法新社报道,这部探测器还将通过拍摄和测量太阳上层大气中的颗粒物助力研究其他一些太阳活动。
