Highlights of the Aditya L1 launch: India’s first sun mission intends to research solar winds, which may generate disturbances on Earth known as auroras.
Following the success of India’s Chandrayaan-3 moon expedition, ISRO launched the Aditya-L1 mission to study the sun today.
India’s first sun mission intends to research solar winds, which may generate earthly disturbances known as auroras.
The solar mission comes after India defeated Russia late last month in order to become the first country to land on the moon’s south pole. While Russia had a more stronger rocket, India’s Chandrayaan-3 outlasted the Luna-25 to land perfectly.
The Aditya-L1 spacecraft is planned to travel 1.5 million kilometers (930,000 miles) in four months to a type of parking lot in orbit where things prefer to remain there due to balanced gravity pulls, lowering spacecraft fuel consumption.
The following are the highlights of the Aditya-L1 launch:
“It’s like a dream come true,” says Aditya-L1 Mission Project Director.
Nigar Shaji, the project’s director, told colleagues at ISRO on Saturday that the successful launch of the country’s first solar mission, Aditya L1, was like a dream come true.
