ISRO solar mission Adity L1: 9 planets have great importance in the Sanatani tradition of India. Many philosophers and scientists believe that mantras are science in themselves. Meanwhile, it seems as if Indian scientists have dreamed of leaving their mark on the entire universe with their knowledge and conquering it. In this series, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is planting flags of success in different planets one after the other. The world knows that after the success of Chandrayaan-3, on September 2 this year, ISRO launched Aditya L1 spacecraft, India's first space-based mission to study the Sun. Now ISRO has given good news regarding this solar mission.
Indian Space Agency has said that Aditya L1 has covered a distance of more than 9.2 lakh kilometers from the Earth. It has covered this distance by successfully avoiding the Earth's sphere of influence. Now it is moving its way towards the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L-1). This is the second consecutive time that ISRO has succeeded in sending a spacecraft outside the Earth's sphere of influence.
ISRO had successfully launched 'Aditya L1' spacecraft under the country's first Sun mission on September 2 through Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C57 from Sriharikota Space Center in Andhra Pradesh. ‘Aditya L1’ carries 7 payloads, of which 4 will observe sunlight and the remaining three will measure in-situ parameters of plasma and magnetic field.
'Aditya L1' is expected to travel a distance of about 15 lakh kilometers and be placed in a 'halo' orbit around the Lagrangian point 'L1', which is considered closest to the Sun. It will revolve around the Sun in the same relative position and hence it can continuously observe the Sun.
