ISRO opened Aditya-L1’s first observation-time proposal cycle on January 6, 2026, inviting the Indian solar-physics community to seek access. The announcement aims to broaden scientific use of an existing mission, not to report a new launch. Aditya-L1 observes the Sun from the Sun–Earth L1 region. At publication, ISRO said more than 23 terabytes of scientific data were publicly available and peer-reviewed results had already appeared. This is the archive volume reported then, not a daily rate or a live measurement of today’s holdings. Applicants were directed to the full opportunity document for eligibility, proposal procedures and observing arrangements. The page does not supply every rule, so no deadline, funding sum or approved-user roster is invented. Applying is distinct from receiving an allocated observation slot. The historical article retains the January disclosure date instead of representing the old call as a new current recruitment; subsequent datasets and scientific findings require their own verification.
