Aditya L-1 Mission: What next after the successful launch?

Aditya L-1 Mission Launch Today: The Indian Space Research Organisation has successfully launched the Solar mission from Satish Dhawan Space Centre today i.e. on 2 September 2023. Aditya-L1 is the first space-based observatory class to study the Sun and is fired using ISRO’s reliable Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). isro

Aditya L-1 Mission:

Following the launch, the spacecraft will be placed in a Low Earth Orbit. Subsequently, the orbit will be made more elliptical, and later the spacecraft will be launched towards the Lagrange point (L1) by using onboard propulsion, ISRO said in an official statement. 

Aditya L1 mission As the spacecraft travels towards L1, it will exit the Earth’s gravitational Sphere of Influence (SOI). After exit from SOI, the cruise phase will start and subsequently, the spacecraft will be injected into a large halo orbit around L1, it added. 

Aditya L1 mission is 1.5 million km away from the Earth in the direction of the sun. It is expected to cover the distance in four months’ time.

Aditya L1 mission is a space-based solar mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is the first observatory-class solar mission from India. The spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around the first Lagrange point, L1, of the Sun-Earth system.

Aditya L1 mission is scheduled to launch on September 2, 2023, aboard a PSLV-XL launch vehicle from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India. The spacecraft will take about 110 days to reach its final orbit around L1.

Aditya L-1 Mission Upon reaching , Aditya–L1 will be manoeuvred into an irregularly shaped orbit, roughly perpendicular to the line joining the Earth and the Sun, where it will spend its mission life.

Aditya L-1 Mission The mission aims to better understand the solar atmosphere, solar wind distribution, temperature anisotropy, and more. The spacecraft will stay approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, constantly facing the Sun, which is about 1% of the Earth-Sun distance.

Aditya L-1 Mission is a fully indigenous effort with the involvement of national institutions, including the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Pune.

The mission will utilise a PSLV-C57 rocket for its launch. Aditya–L1 carries seven specialised payloads designed to observe different aspects of the Sun, including the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona, across various wavelengths.

The mission’s instruments are finely tuned to observe the Sun’s atmosphere, while in-situ instruments will capture data from the local environment at L1 point.

Aditya L1 mission ISRO’s PSLV-C57.1 rocket carrying the Aditya-L1 spacecraft lifted off from Sriharikota’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 11:50 am on Saturday. ISRO later revealed that the satellite was placed precisely into the intended orbit and the country’s first solar observatory began its journey to the Sun-Earth L1 point.

Aditya L1 mission In a post on X (formerly Twitter), ISRO wrote, “PSLV-C57/Aditya-L1 Mission: The launch of Aditya-L1 by PSLV-C57 is accomplished successfully. The vehicle has placed the satellite precisely into its intended orbit. India’s first solar observatory has begun its journey to the destination of Sun-Earth L1 point.”

Aditya L1 mission Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday extended greetings to the team of ISRO scientists and engineers who were involved in the successful launch of the Aditya–L1 mission. PM Modi also said that India continues its space journey after Chandrayaan-3.

In a post on X, PM Modi said, “After the success of Chandrayaan-3, India continues its space journey. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers at @isro for the successful launch of India’s first Solar Mission, Aditya -L1.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his congratulations for the successful launch of Aditya L1 into an elliptical orbit.

Aditya L-1 Mission “Our tireless scientific efforts will continue in order to develop a better understanding of the Universe for the welfare of entire humanity.” tweeted PM Modi.

‘Sunshine moment for India,’ says Minister Jitendra Singh:
