After Chandrayaan 3’s successful landing at the Moon’s South Pole, India now has its sights set on Aditya L1. After the moon, the country’s space research organization ISRO has planned to touch the sun. ISRO’s Suryayaan Aditya L1 will take off from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on Saturday (September 2).
ISRO scientists reached the Tirumala Tirupati temple on Friday morning to wish for the success of the solar campaign. They were captured by reporters after coming out from the puja.
Aditya L1 will be sent into halo orbit. From where the distance of earth will be 1.5 million lakh kilometers. This distance is expected to be completed within four months. Aditya L1 is being sent to collect detailed information about the Sun. Seven payloads are being sent into space simultaneously. Of which four will collect data on sunlight and the remaining three will collect data on plasma and magnetic fields.
It is to be noted that on Saturday, Aditya L1 will pass towards the Sun from the Satish Dhawan Space Center at 11:50 am.
