What is the Aditya’s mission? Why is it positioned at L1? What is L1? Here is all you need to know about ISRO’s Aditya-L1 spacecraft, which arrives at its destination today.
India s ISRO is set to perform the final manoeuvre at 4 pm on Saturday to position the Aditya-L1 spacecraft, the country s first space-based solar observatory, into its designated orbit around Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. The unique halo orbit around L1 allows continuous observation of the Sun, providing real-time monitoring of solar activities and their impact on space weather. Launched in September, Aditya-L1 carries seven payloads to study the solar upper atmosphere, coronal heating, plasma dynamics, and other phenomena.
