India’s Aditya-L1 solar observatory is on its way to its gravitationally stable operational orbit around Lagrange Point 1 between the Earth and the Sun. The spacecraft completed a correction maneuver and continued its journey. The first Indian solar observatory, Aditya-L1, has completed a correction maneuver and is located at a given point in space to observe the Sun. The Aditya-L1 solar observatory was launched on September 2, after which it embarked on a 110-day journey to a distance of about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. Aditya-L1 is designed to be placed in low-Earth orbit around Lagrange Point 1 between the Earth and […]

India managed to correct the trajectory of Aditya-L1 “A trajectory correction maneuver of about 16 seconds was completed,” the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said in a post on its social media account. Aditya-L1 carries seven scientific instruments for a five-year mission to study the Sun. This is India's second spacecraft launched outside Earth's sphere of influence, the first being the Mars rover launched in October 2013 and arriving in orbit around Mars in 2014. The word Aditya means "Sun" in Sanskrit and the L1 suffix in the mission name indicates the location from which it will operate.

ISRO made a video that the agency published on social media X Aditya-L1 was launched on September 2. It is now testing equipment in low Earth orbit before heading to its long-term destination to study the Sun. In about four months, the probe will reach the L1 Lagrange point between the Earth and the Sun, a stable gravitational point located about 1.5 million kilometers from our planet in the direction of the Sun. Aditya-L1 Selfie with Earth and Moon A satellite in a halo orbit around the L1 point has the main advantage of continuous observation of the Sun without glare […]

Aditya-L1 will explore the Sun to study several aspects: solar activity such as solar flares and coronal ejections of charged particles, which can cause auroras on Earth and pose a threat to electrical infrastructure such as satellites. Additionally, the telescope will probe the Sun's mysteriously hot outer atmosphere, which can reach temperatures of about 1.1 million degrees Celsius, according to NASA. Other layers of the Sun are not so hot, which creates many questions for scientists.

Unraveling Solar Secrets: Aditya-L1's Mission A Unique Orbit and Uninterrupted Sun Observation Aditya-L1's primary objective is to study the Sun from a unique vantage point. It will be positioned in a halo orbit around Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, situated approximately 1.5 million km from Earth. This strategic location grants the satellite the remarkable advantage of observing the Sun without encountering eclipses. Exploring Lagrange Points Where Science and Space Align Intriguingly, the Sun-Earth system boasts five Lagrange points, each with its distinct characteristics. Aditya-L1's placement at L1 allows it to unlock invaluable insights into our Sun, contributing to our understanding of this celestial body's behavior. Possible FAQs: What is the Aditya-L1 mission? The Aditya-L1 mission is India's first solar mission, aimed at studying the Sun from a unique vantage point. When is the Aditya-L1 launch taking place? The launch is scheduled for September 2 at 11.50 am IST. Where can I watch the live streaming of the Aditya-L1 launch? You can watch the live event on ISRO's Facebook page, ISRO's YouTube channel, ISRO's website, or through the embedded video on this page. What is ISRO's PSLV rocket, and why is it carrying Aditya-L1? The PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) rocket is the vehicle chosen to carry Aditya-L1 on its space journey. It is trusted for its reliability in launching satellites into orbit. Why is Aditya-L1 being placed at Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system? L1 offers the unique advantage of uninterrupted solar observation, enabling the satellite to study the Sun without encountering eclipses. What are Lagrange points, and why are they important in space exploration? Lagrange points are stable positions in space where the gravitational forces of two large bodies (in this case, the Sun and Earth) balance the centripetal force felt by a much smaller third body (the satellite). These points are significant for placing satellites for various scientific observations.
