ISRO chief somnath said that Aditya L1 countdown will start tomorrow.
Chandrayaan-3's lander has successfully landed on the South Pole of the Moon. Subsequently, the Pragyan rover successfully landed on the moon from the vikram lander and continues its research. Pragyan rover is sending various information from the moon. With this, india has become the fourth country to set foot on the surface of the moon and has also got the honor of being the first country to set foot on the South Pole. indian Space Research Organization isro, which has achieved a historic feat by landing Chandrayaan-3, will next launch the Rs 424 crore Aditya L1 solar research satellite. The satellite will be launched by PSLV-XL (C57) rocket.
There are five points called Lagrange points between the sun and the Earth. Due to the balance prevailing at these points, the material placed here will not be attracted by the sun. Objects placed at those points are not affected by the sun. Accordingly, ISRO's Aditya L1 satellite will be stationed at Lagrange Point 1 (L1). With this, Aditya L1 will be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, isro said, which will make it easier to observe various phenomena on the surface of the Sun. It is reported that the Aditya L1 satellite will take 125 days to reach the Lagrange point (L1), which is about 15 lakh km from Earth. In this wind cell, it includes VELC (Visible Emission Line Coronagraph), SUIT (Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope), Aditya Solar wind Particle Experiment (A-SPEX) and PABA (Plasma Analyzer Package) for studying solar energy. for Aditya), 7 payloads will be sent which are solar X-rays, SOLEX (Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer) to monitor heat, HEL-10S (High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer) to study changes in the outer layers of the sun and Magnometer to measure interplanetary magnetic fields. . Of these, 4 payloads will directly probe the Sun. The 3 payloads are said to probe the Sun's exterior, particles, and the L-1 region.
In this situation, isro chief somnath said that Aditya L1 countdown will start tomorrow. He met the media and said, "We are preparing to launch the Aditya L1 satellite. The rocket and satellite are ready. The rehearsal for this has already been successfully completed. The countdown for the Aditya L1 satellite will begin on september 1 (tomorrow). It will be launched on september 2 (the day after tomorrow).” He said.
Aditya L1 will be launched from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. isro has arranged for the public to see this.
