The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has completed preparations for the Surya Mission. The country’s first solar mission, Aditya-L1, will be launched today. It will be launched from the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) at Sriharikota Space Centre. With this first solar mission by India, ISRO will study the sun. Aditya-L1 will be live streamed at the BM Birla Planetarium in Hyderabad.
Meanwhile, a havan was performed in Varanasi this morning, wishing for the successful launch of the Aditya-L1 mission. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) also shared this good news on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday. According to this post, ‘Aditya L-1’ will be launched at 11:50 a.m. on Saturday. This mission is being implemented at a time when India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully reached its target a few days ago. ISRO chief S. Somnath had told the media here, ‘Rockets and satellites are ready. We have completed the drills for the launch. It will take 125 days to reach the destination.
According to ISRO’s website, the Aditya L-1 spacecraft is designed for remote observation of the Sun’s orbit and to study the solar wind at L-1 (the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point). It is about 15 lakh kilometres away from the Earth. This is India’s first dedicated mission to study the sun. On this mission of India, scientists from all over the world are expected to get new information about the past, present, and future of the sun after analysing the data collected through the solar mission Aditya L-1. This data can prove to be important for understanding the possible climate change on Earth in the coming decades and centuries.
