Digital Desk: With relation to the solar mission Aditya-L1, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has positive news to share with its fellow citizens. The Aditya-L1 mission is being pushed to its new parking place, Lagrange Point 1, in orbit, where it will have an unhindered view of the Sun, according to the Indian space agency, which said that the mission is in its last stages. Notably, ISRO will fire the Aditya-L1 on Saturday to place it in the desired halo orbit. With this, Aditya-L1 will also have finished its 15 lakh kilometer space voyage, which started on the coast of Shriharikota.
ISRO will fire the engines at around 4 pm.
Mission Aditya-L1: The journey
On September 2, of last year, Aditya-L1 was launched aboard ISRO's venerable PSLV-C57, beginning the journey. The spacecraft is now prepared to make its final entry into the halo orbit, where it will observe the Sun, following a series of orbital maneuvers and a 110-day transit. Because it allowed the Aditya-L1 to escape the eclipse, the orbit is crucial. After it is in situ, Aditya-L1 will continuously observe the sun without being affected by Earth's magnetic field.
The Goal of the Aditya-L1 Mission
Studying the solar atmosphere is the mission's main goal. Aditya-L1 is designed to investigate the Sun's chromosphere and corona in order to learn more about solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and the underappreciated heating of the solar corona.
