ISRO has announced that India’s first Sun mission, Aditya-L1, is scheduled to take off from Sriharikota on September 2, 2023.
Just 10 days after the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) created history by successfully landing the country’s third lunar spacecraft, Chandrayaan-3 on the south polar region of the Moon, it is ready to achieve another milestone mission.
Aditya L1 will be ISRO’s 2 space-based astronomy mission after AstroSat, which was launched in 2015.
Aditya 1 was renamed as Aditya-L1. The Aditya 1 was meant to observe only the solar corona.
The spacecraft is meant to be placed in a halo orbit around Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million km from the Earth.
Earlier, the mission was conceived as Aditya-1 with a 400 kg class satellite carrying one payload, the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) that was to be launched in an 800-km low Earth orbit.
