Mohali-based Semi-Conductor Laboratory made devices for solar mission

The Aditya-L1 mission to the sun carries indigenously designed and fabricated radiation-hardened devices made by Mohali-based Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL).

The SCL has also provided measurement in digital magnetometer payloads, and the launch vehicle for the mission uses the SCL-made Vikram Processor for navigation.

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetic field and the direction, strength or relative change of a magnetic field at a particular location.

The SCL-fabricated Vikram Processor was also used in the Chandrayaan mission.
