NOTE: The Sun appears at the corner of the SUIT field of view due to a misalignment between VELC and SUIT optic axes. This leads to distortion in the SUIT images towards the south-western quadrant. Caution must be exercised while analysing such data.
SUIT data is disseminated through ISRO-PRADAAN portal (https://pradan.issdc.gov.in/al1/).

"SUIT is built by a consortium led by the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune, and supported by ISRO as part of the Aditya-L1 mission. The consortium comprises CESSI-IISER Kolkata (MoE), IIA, MAHE, MPS, USO/PRL, and Tezpur University. Aditya-L1 mission was conceived and realised with the help from all ISRO Centres and instruments were realised by the instrument PI Institutes in close collaboration with ISRO and many other national institutes - Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA); Inter University Centre of Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA); Laboratory for Electro-optics System (LEOS) of ISRO; Physical Research Laboratory (PRL); U R Rao Satellite Centre of ISRO; Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) of ISRO."
