ISRO has been beaming with the success of Chandrayaan-3 soft landing on Moon near South Pole. Now, they are constantly working on getting the rover to work successfully and complete the mission experiements. ISRO has now announced their Sun observatory mission, Aditya L-1 Mission launch. The mission will launch on 2nd September at 11:50 hrs from Sriharikota, Nellore. PSLV-C57 will carry Aditya L-1 Mission from ground. ISRO aims to improve our understanding of Sun and how a star works.
ISRO announced the mission objectives and launch date on social media. They have stated that by registering at the link given by them viewers and collectors can see the gallery. As ISRO is preparing for the launch they have announced the uniqueness of Aditya L-1 Mission. Firstly, the space observatory will station at first Lagrange point, L-1 close to Sun from Earth and start completing scientific observations. They have announced, “PSLV-C57/Aditya-L1 Mission: The launch of Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun, is scheduled for September 2, 2023, at 11:50 Hrs. IST from Sriharikota.”
Aditya L-1 mission observatory contains a first-time spatially resolved solar disk in the near UV-band. On-board intelligence in the mission will help detect CMEs. It will also continue to observe directional and energy anisotropy of solar wind. With these observations ISRO aims to find out more about Coronal heating and solar wind acceleration, Solar wind distribution and anisotropy, initiation of Coronal Mass Ejection(CME), solar flares and near-earth space weather. These observations will help Earth based observatories and satellites to learn and prepare for Solar flares, space earth weather.
Lagrange points are classified based on gravitational equidistance between Sun and Earth. L-1 is the most nearest point to Sun from Earth gravitationally. Establishing an observatory there, will help us prepare for Solar Flares and CMEs, so that our communication system will not be fried up by Sun in a jiffy. ISRO has taken up this mission to help human kind to learn more about stars and their working pattens as well. On the whole, scientific community is expecting ISRO Aditya L-1 Mission is open doors for more space exploration and better understanding of Solar System. All the best, ISRO.
