Move to Aditya-L1?[edit]

Aditya or Aditya-1 spacecraft had its name officially changed to Aditya-L1^[1] after it was re-purposed in a major way from a 400 kg solar observation satellite in Low Earth Orbit to a 1500 kg satellite in Sun Earth L1. All budget documents and journals now refer to it as Aditya-L1. As this page is still maturing it is well suited to be moved to Aditya-L1. Any thoughts?

Page should be moved to Aditya-L1.

Deletion of "Significance and potential discoveries" section[edit]

Almost all of this section contains largely unsourced, unverified speculation about future discoveries that are expected but are yet to occur. It is overly optimistic, with sentences such as "observations of the initiation and evolution of CMEs will contribute to our understanding of their origins and behavior" and "This could provide valuable information for climate researchers". See WP:CRYSTALBALL

I propose deleting this entire section. If needed, a small paragraph could be included somewhere listing the observations that Aditya-L1 plans to make. Lord Clayton7 (talk) 11:33, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This section is just copied and pasted from the official website of ISRO. We can add terms like Isro thinks this and this is a significant discovery. https://www.isro.gov.in/Aditya_L1.html Harvici (talk) 13:46, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Harvici yes that's exactly my point. Most of it is copied directly from a primary source. We can remove the section easily and shrink it to a paragraph stating, "ISRO hopes to discover..." or "plans to conduct experiments for..." or something in a similar vein. Lord Clayton7 (talk) 12:09, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@The Herald pinging you for the reason of removal. In addition to the above, the section relies largely on one primary source. Lord Clayton7 (talk) 14:02, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of summary information on Aditya L1's Payloads[edit]

Hi everyone,

I think the payload section of the article could do with some more information on each instrument. I have started adding this information underneath the existing payload table. I've so far added short summaries for the VELC, SUIT, & SoLEXS.

Would anyone be interested in helping to provide some summaries for the other instruments?

Many thanks,
