"aditya-l1"

SUIT and the VELC captured the dynamic activities of the Sun during May 2024, says ISRO

The Aditya mission, the first by an Asian country to be placed in orbit around the Sun, is expected to contribute significantly to our understanding of solar dynamics and enhance our ability to predict space weather phenomena.

According to ISRO officials, the spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, about 1.5 million km from the Earth. The L1 point is about one per cent of the total distance between the Earth and the Sun.

So far in its journey, the spacecraft has undergone four earth-bound manoeuvres and a Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) manoeuvres, all successfully Addressing reporters on the very first day of 2024, Somanath said ISRO has about 12-14 missions in pipeline this year.

ISRO launched the country's maiden solar mission -- Aditya-L1 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on September 2

According to ISRO's timeline, the maneuver was essential to rectify the trajectory calculated after tracking the Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) maneuver executed on September 19.

Aditya L1 spacecraft, India's first space-based mission to study the Sun, got a "send-off" from the Earth after orbiting it since its September 2 launch

The sensors of the Supra Thermal & Energetic Particle Spectrometer (STEPS) instrument, a part of the Aditya Solar Wind Particle Experiment (ASPEX) payload, have begun the collection of scientific data, said Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Aditya-L1 spacecraft, India's first solar mission, has successfully performed the second earth-bound manoeuvre

ISRO on Sunday said it has successfully performed the first earth-bound manoeuvre of the country's maiden solar mission, Aditya L1

Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan and CM Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday congratulated ISRO and the scientists on the successful launch of Aditya-L1.

It takes nearly one year for a team of 150 scientists, engineers and technicians of the CTTC to produce the high-standard components, he said.

Subsequently, Adiya-L1 will undergo a trans-Lagrangian1 insertion manoeuvre that will take 110 days. The satellite will travel approximately 15 million kilometres to reach the L1 point.

The Aditya-L1 spacecraft is an unmanned observation satellite that India's space agency ISRO wants to use to monitor the sun's activities, and learn more about how these impact space weather phenomena such as solar storms.

The PSLV-C57 has placed the unmanned spacecraft into the halo orbit. And with this attempt, ISRO wants to monitor and study sun in more detail, including solar storms.

The Chief Minister said the achievement by India's scientists in the field of space research would be a proud moment for every Indian.

The Prime Minister proclaimed India's commitment to persist in its scientific endeavors "for the betterment of all humankind through a deeper comprehension of the Universe."
