Aditya L1 launch Latest Update
The Aditya L1 Launch Update are:
- Aditya-L1, India’s first spacecraft to study the sun, performed its fourth earthbound manoeuvre on Friday.
- According to an update from ISRO on X, the next manoeuvre for a send-off from the Earth is planned for September 19 at 02:00 IST.
- On September 10, the third manoeuvre was completed.
- ISRO, in a recent tweet, said, “The fourth Earth-bound manoeuvre (EBN#4) is performed successfully. ISRO’s ground stations at Mauritius, Bengaluru, SDSC-SHAR and Port Blair tracked the satellite during this operation. In contrast, a transportable terminal currently stationed in the Fiji Islands for Aditya-L1 will support post-burn operations.
- The spacecraft is now in an orbit of 256km x 1,21,973km.
Aditya L1 – ISROs First Sun Mission
Aditya L1 Mission: India’s First Dedicated Solar Mission: The Sun is the source of all life on Earth, but it is also a complex and dynamic body with many mysteries yet unsolved. The Aditya L1 mission is India’s first dedicated solar mission, and it aims to shed light on some of these mysteries by studying the Sun from a unique vantage point.
The Aditya L1 spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 1 (L1). This point is located about 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth, and it offers several advantages for studying the Sun. First, L1 is located outside of Earth’s magnetic field, which allows the Aditya L1 spacecraft to observe the Sun without any interference. Second, L1 is located in a region where the gravitational forces of the Sun and Earth are balanced, which means that the Aditya L1 spacecraft can remain in a stable orbit for long periods.
The Aditya L1 mission is expected to provide a wealth of new information about the Sun. This information will help scientists to better understand the Sun’s behavior and how it affects Earth and the solar system.
