Aditya L1

India's space endeavors are reaching new heights with multiple space missions. After the successful launch of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO launched India's first solar mission, Aditya-L1 mission successfully. Currently, the Indian Space Research Organisation is anticipating the Aditya-L1 solar probe's entry into orbit around Lagrangian point L1 on January 7. Know about the recent updates on India's maiden solar mission. Aditya-L1 mission in final stagesAccording to a report by PTI, The exciting development of the…

Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun, is getting ready for its launch soon, ISRO said on Monday.The satellite realised at U R Rao Satellite Centre here, has arrived at the ISRO's spaceport in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, the Bengaluru-headquartered national space agency said in an update on the mission."Mostly September first week," an ISRO official told PTI when asked about the date of the launch.The spacecraft is expected to be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of…

A mission to study the Sun, and launching a climate observation satellite, a test vehicle as part of the Gaganyaan human space flight program, and an Indo-US synthetic aperture radar -- ISRO has a packed schedule ahead. In addition, XPoSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite), the country's first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions, is also ready for launch, an ISRO official said on Tuesday.Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study…

When Indian space agency scientists set out to design the Chandrayaan-3 moon mission, they knew they had one more chance to make history with a landing on the lunar south pole after a failed attempt four years ago.They also had to do it on a shoestring budget and ended up spending only Rs. 6.15 billion on the mission.From managing costs on rockets to developing a built-in-India supply base, the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) success with the Chandrayaan-3 moon landing shows how it has honed a system of doing…

On the heels of the success of the Chandrayaan-3 moon landing, India's space agency has set a date for its next mission — this time to study the sun. The Aditya-L1, India's first space observatory for solar research, is getting ready for launch at the country's main spaceport in Sriharikota, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) told reporters at its satellite command centre this week, as scientists and crew celebrated the moon mission's success."We are planning to launch in the first week of September," said ISRO…

Aditya-L1, India's first solar mission, is all set to be launched today (September 2) at 11.50am IST from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota. The launch for the solar mission has been announced days after the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved success in safe landing on the moon surface with its Chandrayaan-3 mission. Aditya-L1 will be carried aboard ISRO's PSLV rocket, which will undergo a space journey of 125 days. The name Aditya in the…

Following the success of India's moon landing, the country's space agency ISRO launched a rocket on Saturday to study the sun in its first solar mission, Aditya-L1.The rocket left a trail of smoke and fire as scientists clapped, a live broadcast on the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) website showed. The broadcast was watched by nearly 5,00,000 viewers, while thousands gathered at a viewing gallery near the launch site to see the lift-off of the probe, which will aim to study solar winds, which can cause…

India's Aditya-L1 solar mission spacecraft has commenced collecting scientific data to help scientists analyse particles surrounding Earth, ISRO said on Monday. The sensors on board India's first solar observatory have begun measuring ions and electrons at distances greater than 50,000 km from Earth, ISRO announced in a post on X. The national space agency said that the sensors on STEPS or the Supra Thermal & Energetic Particle Spectrometer instrument began measuring supra-thermal and energetic ions and electrons at…

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman S Somanath on Saturday announced the success of the 'TV-D1' (Test Vehicle Development Flight 1) in the Gaganyaan Mission. The test vehicle was launched on the second attempt after it had faced an engine ignition problem at 8:45am IST. ISRO briefly aborted the launch of the first uncrewed test flight (TV-D1 Flight Test). Later, it said that the errors have been identified and corrected and the second launch was scheduled for 10:00am IST today. Addressing the media, ISRO…

In recent months, we witnessed a number of rocket launches which carried Indian and foreign satellites. Along with that, we saw the launch of Chandrayaan-3 mission that will make history for India if it successfully lands on the lunar surface.But that's not the end of it as the Indian Space Research Organization is planning another commercial launch. ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will carry a third-party satellite to orbit along with another mission that will explore the Sun. More about the upcoming ISRO…
