The Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya (PAPA) payload on board Aditya-L1 has detected the solar wind impact of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), including those that occurred during February 10 and 11, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said in a post on Friday.

The space agency said the PAPA payload had been operational and was fulfilling its assigned role. PAPA is an energy and mass analyser designed for in-situ measurements of solar wind electrons and ions in the low energy range.

It has two sensors — the Solar Wind Electron Energy Probe (SWEEP) for measuring electrons and the Solar Wind Ion Composition Analyser (SWICAR) for measuring ions. The data collected by PAPA revealed the occurrence of CME events on December 15, 2023, and during February 10 and 11 this year.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
