The journey from launch to L1 will take Aditya-L1 approximately four months and the distance from Earth will be approximately 15 lakh km.
चांद के बाद अब सूरज की ओर बढ़े इसरो के कदम, Aditya L1 सफलतापूर्वक लॉन्च
After the success of Chandrayaan, ISRO has taken steps towards the Sun mission. ISRO’s Aditya-L1 leaves for Surya mission. Aditya-L1 has been successfully launched. Aditya L-1 took off into space at 11:50 am from the launching pad of Sriharikota. It will take another 125 days to travel from Earth to the L-1 point, from where the satellite will observe the Sun.
The journey from launch to L1 will take Aditya-L1 approximately four months and the distance from Earth will be approximately 15 lakh km. ISRO said, “The satellite placed in corona orbit around the L1 point has the major advantage of continuously observing the Sun without any eclipse. This will make it possible to study solar activities and its impact on space weather in real time.”
According to ISRO, the spacecraft will carry seven payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere and the outermost layers (corona) of the Sun using electromagnetic and particle and magnetic field detectors.
