Along with Aditya-L1, Wind, Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), and Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), SOHO is one of five spacecraft in the vicinity of the Earth–Sun L1 point, a point of gravitational balance located approximately 0.99 astronomical unit (AU) from the Sun and 0.01 AU from the Earth.
The goal of the LWS program is to develop the scientific understanding necessary to effectively address those aspects of the connected Sun–Earth system directly affecting life on Earth and its society. The goal of the SDO is to understand the influence of the Sun on the Earth and near-Earth space by studying the solar atmosphere on small ...

Following a travel time of 30 days after launch, it began to orbit the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L2 [3] in an eclipse-free halo orbit about 1 million km wide. Upon receiving the initial images, a problem surfaced as scientists discovered a small gap in the spacecraft's hull.
Aditya-L1 (Sanskrit: Āditya IPA: [aːd̪it̪jɐ] 'Sun', L1 'Lagrange Point 1') [a] is a coronagraphy spacecraft for studying the solar atmosphere, designed and developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and various other Indian Space Research Institutes. [1]
A velocity map shows the speed and direction that material at the sun's surface is moving. Blue shows movement toward the Solar Orbiter, while red indicates movement away from the spacecraft.
The Solar Orbiter (SolO) [7] is a Sun-observing probe developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) with a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contribution. Solar Orbiter, designed to obtain detailed measurements of the inner heliosphere and the nascent solar wind , will also perform close observations of the polar regions of ...
