Aditya L1 launch: After the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3, ISRO is preparing to launch the country’s first solar power mission, Aditya-L1. The launch will occur at 11:50 AM on Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023.
The Aditya-L1 spacecraft is designed to provide remote observations of the solar corona and in situ observations of the solar wind at L1 (solar-terrestrial Lagrangian point), about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth.
PSLV-C57, India’s first solar-powered space probe, will be launched.
Points to note:
- Aditya L1 mission is set to be launched today.
- No, the mission will not “land” on the Sun.
- It will be placed in the orbit of the Sun-Earth system.
- The halo orbit around Lagrangian Point 1 (L1) will be the parking spot for India’s mission.
- It is 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth in the direction of the Sun.
- The mission will revolve around the Sun and observe solar activities and their effect on space weather.
It will carry 7 different loads for detailed studies of the Sun; four of them will monitor light from the Sun, and three will measure plasma and magnetic fields in the instrument.
When Aditya-L1 will launch:
The mission is scheduled to take off from Sriharikota Cosmodrome on September 2 at 11:50 a.m. On August 30, ISRO said the Aditya-L1 mission, designed to study the Sun, had completed rehearsals and internal inspections.
Where to watch:
The broadcast can be watched on Doordarshan channel or ISRO’s YouTube channel. ISRO also announced the live link of the Aditya-L1 mission on September 1.
The main objective of the Aditya L1 mission is: Aditya-L1 will be placed in the halo around Lagrange point 1 (or L1). orbit), 1.5 million kilometers from Earth in the direction of the Sun.
He hopes to complete the course in four months. The journey to the mission station is an astonishing 1.5 million kilometers from Earth and will take about four months.
This choice will allow Aditya-L1 to continue observing the sun without being interrupted by eclipses or occultations.
Studying solar activity and its effects on weather in real-time. In addition, data from the aircraft will help characterize the processes that cause solar flares and provide a deeper understanding of weather factors.
The main objectives of the India Solar Mission include the heliophysics and warming process of the corona, solar wind acceleration, solar wind coupling and dynamics, solar wind distribution and temperature anisotropy, study of coronal mass ejections.
(CMEs) and flares at and near the origin of Earth’s atmosphere. At the beginning of August 31, ISRO President S Somanath said, “We are preparing to launch. Rocket and satellite are ready”.
“We finished the rehearsal. So we have to start the countdown for the day after tomorrow”.
“Concerning the main mission Chandrayaan-3, the director of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said that the “Pragian” rover is now heading towards the surface of the moon, and the phrase “everything is going well” works fine” and all files well conveyed.
Everything is going well and we hope that by the end of 14 (Earth) days our work will be completed. (PTI)
