Total Solar Eclipse will not be visible in India; Aditya L1 spacecraft will ‘miss it’- ISRO chief S. Somanath explains

[ad_1] Today, several parts of the world will witness the rare Solar Eclipse. While people in North America will be able to see the event, people in other countries could witness the live stream of the event on NASA TV, Google TV, and other platforms. The event is reported to stay for several hours, therefore, it is one of the biggest celestial events which you should not miss. However, ISRO's Aditya L1 spacecraft, which is actively monitoring the Sun, will miss the Total Solar Eclipse due to its location. Know what ISRO Chairman said in a statement. Also read: Total Solar Eclipse Today: How to watch live for free on TV as it will not be visible in India ISRO's Aditya L1 spacecraft will not capture the Total Solar EclipseAditya L1 spacecraft was launched in 2023 to study the Sun's activ...

Aditya-L1 mission update: First high-energy X-ray of solar flares captured by ISRO spacecraft!

[ad_1] Aditya-L1 mission spacecraft is now in its trajectory towards a point where the Sun-Earth system is at equilibrium to study various phenomena. In a recent update, the Aditya-L1 spacecraft has captured the first-ever high-energy X-ray of solar flares during its monitoring phase. Till now, the spacecraft has made successful manoeuvres including a Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) manoeuvre and now it will be placed at the halo orbit of Lagrange Point 1. Know what ISRO uncovered with the X-ray image of the Sun.Aditya-L1 mission findingsISRO shared an update about the Aditya-L1 mission through their official X (Formerly Twitter) handle saying that the HEL1OS spectrometer captured the first high-energy X-ray of solar flares along with GOES X-ray light curves.

Aditya-L1 mission: ISRO spacecraft heads towards centre of solar system to spy on the sun

[ad_1] Aditya-L1 mission: India's Sun-monitoring spacecraft has crossed a landmark point on its journey to escape "the sphere of Earth's influence", its space agency said, days after the disappointment of its Moon rover failing to awaken. The Aditya-L1 mission, which started its four-month journey towards the centre of the solar system on September 2, carries instruments to observe the Sun's outermost layers. "The spacecraft has escaped the sphere of Earth's influence," the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said in a statement late Saturday.Aditya, named after the Hindu Sun deity, has travelled 920,000 kilometres (570,000 miles), just over half the journey's total distance. At that point, the gravitational forces of both astronomical bodies cancel out, allowing the mission to re...

Aditya-L1: Know how much the ISRO mission will cost and check comparison with NASA

[ad_1] India is about to embark on yet another historic journey, this time to the Sun. Just a few days ago, India was in the news as the Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon was successful as it achieved a soft landing on the lunar South Pole, becoming the first in the world to do so. Now, with its solar mission named Aditya-L1, which is set to launch on September 2, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) hopes to unravel the mysteries of the Sun. The spacecraft, along with the PSLV-C57, is now being readied for the launch and has been rolled out onto the Launch Pad 2 of the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. ISRO Chairman S Somnath said, “We are just getting ready for the launch. The rocket and satellite are ready. We completed the rehearsal for the launch. So tomorrow, we ...

ISRO’s Aditya-L1 mission could reveal the Sun’s secrets

[ad_1] First the Moon and now, India targets the Sun. ISRO recently created history with its Chandrayaan-3 mission when it successfully achieved a soft landing on the South Pole of the Moon, becoming the first nation in the world to do so. While not just India but the whole world is applauding the efforts of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the space agency is already looking forward to the launch of its next historic mission. Named Aditya-L1, this mission will conduct a thorough study of the Sun with a spacecraft placed in the halo orbit.India's first space-based observatory-class solar mission could prove to be a turning point in the study of the Sun when it lifts off on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, according to Dr. Shanti Priya, Head o...

ISRO’s solar mission Aditya-L1 to be launched on September 2, says space agency

[ad_1] After the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon, ISRO on Monday announced that India's first solar mission Aditya-L1 to study the Sun will be launched on September 2 at 11.50 am from Sriharikota spaceport.Aditya-L1 spacecraft is designed to provide remote observations of the solar corona and in-situ observations of the solar wind at L1 (Sun-Earth Lagrange point), which is about 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth. Lagrange Points are positions in space where the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Earth produce enhanced regions of attraction and repulsion. These can be used by spacecraft to reduce fuel consumption needed to remain in position, according to NASA. Lagrange points are named in honor of Italian-French mathematician Josephy-Louis Lagrange.
