Aditya L1, ISRO's first solar mission, has had a significant success rate. The spacecraft photographed several of the Sun's recent activities and relayed them. ISRO stated that these images were collected with the assistance of two remote sensing equipment placed in the spacecraft.

ISRO has posted numerous photos of various solar flares taken in May 2024. According to ISRO, the Solar Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) and Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) sensors captured these events.

ISRO said in its statement that several X-class and M-class flares associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were recorded, causing significant geomagnetic storms. The space agency said that several X-class and M-class flares erupted in the Sun's AR13664 active region from May 8 to 15, which were associated with the CMEs of May 8 and 9. These caused a major geomagnetic storm on May 11.

It is worth noting that Aditya-L1 is India's first solar mission, which was launched on September 2, 2023. It reached the Lagrangian point (L1) on January 6 this year, 127 days after launch. L1 is located about 1.5 million km from Earth. From here the spacecraft is able to continuously observe the Sun.
