Summary:
Seven payloads have been sent with Aditya L1, which will study the Sun in detail. Among these, four payloads will study the brightness of the Sun.
Overview:
ISRO has announced that its solar mission, Aditya L1, will undergo changes in its first phase. ISRO will conduct its first Earth-bound firing at around 11:45 AM on Sunday. Prior to this, on Saturday, ISRO successfully launched Aditya L1 using the PSLV C57 launch vehicle from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. Similar to the Chandrayaan-3 mission, this mission will first orbit Earth and then swiftly head towards the direction of the Sun.
Aditya L1 will spend 16 days in Earth’s orbit:
ISRO has revealed that Aditya L1 has begun generating power. This will be accomplished using precise maneuvers known as Earth-bound maneuvers. As a result, Aditya L1 will shift its orbit and move into the next phase. Aditya L1 will spend 16 days in Earth’s orbit during this period, with five orbital adjustments made using Earth-bound firing.
In a four- month trip, what will Aditya- L1 do, and who’ll be involved in the charge? Let’s understand :
Aditya-L1: It will take approximately four months for Aditya-L1 to reach Lagrange Point 1 (L1). During this journey, it will cover a distance of about 1.5 million kilometers. Just like Chandrayaan-3, it will also navigate through various orbital paths on its route to its final destination.
After Chandrayaan-3 successfully touched down on the moon’s southern pole, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has once more created a remarkable moment in history. With great enthusiasm, ISRO, the nation’s space agency, successfully launched the Aditya-L1 mission today. The aim of this mission is to investigate and learn more about the Sun.
