After the magnanimous success of ISROs Chandrayaan-3, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is now gearing to go all over the Sun.The Aditya-L1 mission recently reported about its destination and the distance of its travel, which is said to be around 1.5 million kilometers to study the Sun.India is getting ready to start a ground-breaking scientific venture. Over the following five years, the mission, a partnership between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and other prestigious institutions, is expected to reveal new information about our nearest star.🚀PSLV-C57/🛰️Aditya-L1 Mission:The launch of Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun ☀️, is scheduled for 🗓️September 2, 2023, at 🕛11:50 Hrs.

He said, “Aditya-L1 mission is going to undertake a 15-lakh-kilometer journey. After reaching a point, with the help of the 7 instruments, our country is going to study the Sun over a period of the next 5 years.”VIDEO | “Aditya-L1 mission is going to undertake a 15-lakh kilometre long journey. After reaching a point, with the help of the 7 instruments, our country is going to study about the Sun over a period of next 5 years,” says Raghunandan kumar, Director at Planetary Society. pic.twitter.com/r7wFUFWFda— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) August 31, 2023 More on the missionAditya L1 is Indias first space mission to investigate the sun, and it is scheduled to launch on September 2. Aditya is the Hindi term for the sun. The spacecraft will be positioned in an orbit that circles the Sun-Earth systems Lagrange point 1, or L1, where the gravitational influences of both bodies cancel one another out.Objectives of Aditya L1The objective of the mission is to continuously track solar activity and how it affects the space environment.The carefully planned equipment that will gather essential data and photos of the Sun is essential to the missions success. By designing the primary payload, the Indian Institute of Astrophysics played a crucial role.The Director of the Space Applications Centre (SAC/ISRO), Nilesh Desai, highlighted this collaboration, saying, “These payloads were not only prepared by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, who have made the main payload, but other smaller institutes were roped in to deliver six other payloads. This is the uniqueness of this particular mission.”VIDEO | Former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan explains the importance of Indias first solar mission Aditya-L1 which will be launched on September 2 from Sriharikota spaceport.#AdityaL1 #ISRO pic.twitter.com/gqIE5BgLwn— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) August 28, 2023 Aditya-L1s purposeThe Aditya-L1 mission will start its in-depth investigation of the sun, which is anticipated to take four months.
