With the launch of the Aditya-L1 spacecraft, India achieved another significant milestone in the history of space exploration. Only two weeks had passed since India accomplished an innovative uncrewed landing close to the south pole area of the moon when the launch took place at the Sriharikota space station in southern India. With an unobstructed view of the sun from the L1 point, the Aditya-L1 spacecraft is on a mission to study the solar from a distance of about 1.5 million kilometrea (930,000 miles) from Earth. Seven payloads are installed aboard the spacecraft to investigate different facets of the sun’s corona, chromosphere, photosphere, and solar wind.
The satellite is on its way to its goal, the Sun-Earth L1 point, a journey that is anticipated to take 125 days, according to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), which also confirmed the launch’s success.
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is becoming more well-known internationally as a result of India’s recent success in both solar and lunar missions. On August 23, India made history when it became the first nation to land a spacecraft close to the south pole of the moon. This marked a huge step forward in space research because it went into undiscovered lunar terrain that may have valuable frozen water reservoirs.
Another impressive accomplishment for ISRO, further enhancing its standing in the field of space research, is the launch of the sun study mission. These missions’ accomplishments have inspired respect and pride from both onlookers and space aficionados, and they have raised the bar for ISRO’s future undertakings.
