PM Praises Aditya-L1’s Historic Accomplishment As It Reaches Its Solar Target.
In A Historic Statement On Saturday, January 6, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Celebrated India’s Tremendous Accomplishment As Aditya-L1, The Country’s First Solar Observatory, Arrived At Its Celestial Destination.
Aditya-L1’s Successful Arrival Is A Noteworthy Achievement That Demonstrates The Scientists’ Unwavering Commitment To Completing One Of The Most Complex Space Missions.
Extending Congratulations To The Team, PM Modi Expressed His Pride In This Exceptional Feat And Affirmed India’s Commitment To Explore New Scientific Horizons For The Betterment Of Humanity.
Beginning Its Mission On September 19, The Aditya-L1 Mission Launched On September 2 Aboard The PSLV, Marking A Momentous Journey Towards Its Ultimate Destination, The Sun-Earth Lagrange’s Point 1 (L1).
Equipped With Seven Specialized Equipment, The Spacecraft Is Positioned At L1, The Point Where The Gravitational Forces Of The Earth And The Sun Balance, With The Goal Of Investigating Solar Phenomena And Storms. This Position Provides A Clear And Beneficial View Of The Sun For In-Depth Research.
The Difficulty, Therefore, Is Not Only Getting To L1, But Also Keeping The Spacecraft In This Precarious Orbit. ISRO Uses Rigorous Orbit Determination Procedures With URSC-Developed Specialized Software And Mathematical Algorithms To Guarantee Exact Trajectory And Stability.
“Once It Reaches There, We Will Perform Periodic Manoeuvres To Keep The Spacecraft In The Intended Orbit,” Said ISRO Chairman S Somanath.
Seven Payloads On Board Aditya-L1 Are Intended To Examine Different Solar Layers, Including As The Photosphere, Chromosphere, And Outermost Corona, Using Particle And Electromagnetic Detectors. While The Remaining Three Payloads Use This Special Vantage Point To Conduct In-Situ Investigations Of Particles And Fields At Lagrange Point L1, The Remaining Four Are Devoted To Direct Sun Observation.
