ISRO is preparing to make history once again. After the moon, it is now the turn of the sun to conquer. ISRO will launch the Aditya-L1 mission on September Aditya-L1 will be about 1.5 million km from Earth towards the Sun, which is about 1 percent of the Earth-Sun distance. The Sun is a huge sphere of gas and Aditya-L1 will study the Sun's outer atmosphere. Also clarify that Aditya-L1 will neither land on nor approach the Sun. "We have completed preparations for the mission launch," said Nilesh Desai, director, ISRO's Space Applications Centre, Ahmedabad. Everything is on track. There is no such problem, we have to launch the satellite, we have approved the launch authority, the countdown has started.
Coming just days after the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander and Pragyan rover at the moon's south pole, Desai said the Surya mission would boost solar activity. Because of this we will be able to see phenomena like sunspots and sunspots, sun storms and we will be able to catch them in action. He also said that even after the launch of Aditya-L1, it will be a difficult task. The satellite will enter the halo orbit after traveling 127 days and 1.5 million kilometers. So the real work will start after 127 days. Once there, getting it (the satellite) into halo orbit is a big challenge. It has 7 payloads that will give us data for the next 5 years.
