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. [caption id="attachment_66870" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Aditya-L1[/caption] 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 the Sun, a gravitationally stable region from which the vehicle will have an uninterrupted view of the Sun. 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 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.

Aditya L1's Successful Earth-Bound Manoeuvre: A Milestone for ISRO ISRO celebrates the triumph of Aditya L1's first earth-bound manoeuvre, a crucial step in India's solar observatory mission. A Solar Mission of Significance Aditya L1, India's maiden solar mission, is set to explore the sun's outer atmosphere. This ambitious project involves positioning a solar observatory at the Sun-Earth L1 point, promising groundbreaking insights. A Successful Manoeuvre ISRO recently accomplished the inaugural earth-bound manoeuvre (EBN#1) of the Aditya L1 mission, conducted from ISTRAC, Bengaluru. The satellite remains in excellent health and operates nominally. [caption id="attachment_51138" align="aligncenter" width="1920"] First earth-bound manoeuvre of Aditya L1[/caption] The Road Ahead Mark your calendars for the next significant milestone—the EBN#2 manoeuvre, scheduled for September 5, 2023, around 03:00 Hrs. IST. FAQs About Aditya L1's Earth-Bound Manoeuvre Q1: What is the primary objective of the Aditya L1 mission? The Aditya L1 mission aims to study the sun's outer atmosphere by positioning a solar observatory at the Sun-Earth L1 point. Q2: Why is the earth-bound manoeuvre significant for this mission? The earth-bound manoeuvre marks a crucial step in preparing the satellite for its mission, ensuring it reaches its designated orbit and operates optimally. Q3: What is the significance of the Sun-Earth L1 point in this mission? The Sun-Earth L1 point offers a unique vantage point for studying the sun, allowing the observatory to capture valuable data about its outer atmosphere. https://youtu.be/WaCI5BtcxWE

It is India's first space observatory to study the Sun. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched its first solar space station this morning, September 2, 2023. [caption id="attachment_50839" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Aditya-L1[/caption] Successful: India launched Aditya-L1 station to study the Sun The PSLV-C57 launch vehicle with the Aditya-L1 automatic station took off at 09:20 Moscow time from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on Sriharikota Island in the Bay of Bengal. About an hour later, ISRO reported that the station had successfully separated from the rocket and entered its intended orbit. In the next 125 days, the station should enter a halo orbit in the area of ​​the Lagrange point L1 of the Sun-Earth system at a distance of approximately 1.5 million km from the Earth. This position is especially convenient for observing the Sun, since there are no solar eclipses there.

Aditya-L1 Solar Mission: Launch Countdown Begins The countdown for India's historic Aditya-L1 solar mission has officially begun, promising groundbreaking insights into the Sun's mysteries. Here's what you need to know about the launch, where to watch it live, and the significance of this mission. Launch Details and Timing A Date with the Sun: September 2, 11.50 am IST The Aditya-L1 solar mission is scheduled for launch on September 2 at 11.50 am IST from the renowned Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. This eagerly awaited event comes hot on the heels of ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 moon mission success. Aditya-L1 Solar Mission Aboard the PSLV Rocket The Vehicle to the Sun's Halo Aditya-L1 will embark on its cosmic journey aboard ISRO's PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) rocket, setting off on a space odyssey that spans 125 days. The mission's name, Aditya, is derived from the Sanskrit word for the Sun, signifying its solar focus.  How to Watch the Live Streaming  Catch the Solar Spectacle Online For those eager to witness this historic event, ISRO has made it accessible to viewers worldwide. The live streaming of the Aditya-L1 launch will commence at 11.20 am IST, just ahead of liftoff. Here's where you can watch it: ISRO's Facebook Page ISRO's YouTube Channel ISRO Website You can also watch the launch right here on this page through the embedded video. 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.
