Aditya L1: Launch date, cost, mission objectives and much more

[ad_1] India has achieved a historical milestone in the field of space and technology with the successful landing of Chandrayaan- 3 lander and rover on the South Pole of the Moon. Now, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has moved on to its next space adventure. This time ISRO is not targeting the Moon, but the Sun. ISRO is gearing up to launch its first-ever space-based solar observatory spacecraft, the Aditya L1 mission. This ambitious endeavor aims to shed light on various aspects of solar activities and their effects on space weather, providing invaluable insights into the behavior of our Sun. Check out below Aditya L1 launch date, cost, and much more.Aditya L-1 Launch dateIndia's first-ever Solar mission, Aditya L1, is set to take off on September 2, 2023. The success of...

Aditya L1 mission: Know all about ISRO’s first solar mission

[ad_1] Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is targeting multiple space missions this year. First, we will soon get to experience the historic Chandrayaan-3 landing in just a few hours and ahead of ISRO's moon mission, it is also planning to launch a spacecraft that will study the Sun, its environment, solar flares, solar storms, coronal mass ejection, and more. With a big plan ahead of this year, we are excited to see what the new studies and discoveries will unravel about our sun and the moon. Know more about the Sun mission in detail.About Aditya L1 missionAditya L1 mission will be India's first solar mission that will study Sun for nearly 5 years. The ISRO PSLV rocket spacecraft is set to take flight from Sathish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota on August 2023....

A packed launch schedule for ISRO after Chandrayaan-3 mission

[ad_1] A mission to study the Sun, and launching a climate observation satellite, a test vehicle as part of Gaganyaan human space flight programme 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 the Sun, is getting ready for the launch, most likely in September first week.According to ISRO Chairman, Somanath S, the space agency has also lined up the launch of a climate observation satellite INSAT-3DS. The launch of a test vehicle mission, for the validatio...

ISRO missions 2023: What Indian space agency has on its agenda

[ad_1] 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 missionsAccording to ISRO's report. the PSLV-C56 will carry the DS-SAR satellite along with 6 co-passengers. The rocket will leave from Sriharikota which is scheduled to leave by the end of July 2023. The other six satellites will be VELOX-AM, ARCADE, SCOOB-II, NuL...

ISRO gets groundbreaking telescope to track the Sun, space weather; will fly aboard ADITYA-1 spacecraft

[ad_1] The Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), based in Pune, has successfully developed a groundbreaking space telescope called the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT).On June 6, IUCAA handed over the telescope to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), where it will be integrated into the ADITYA-L1 mission as a crucial instrument.   Once launched with the satellite, it will travel approximately 1.5 million kilometers towards the Sun, specifically to the L1 point, and provide regular updates and images of the Sun's surface phenomena and space weather.Leading the project at IUCAA are Prof. AN Ramprakash and Prof. Durgesh Tripathi, who have collaborated closely with ISRO to create the SUIT. The observations captured by this telescope will place I...

For the first time, India targets the Sun with ISRO’s Aditya-L1 mission

[ad_1] India's first mission to study the Sun will be launched by ISRO in 2023 and it has been dubbed the Aditya-L1. After several years of development, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is expected to launch Aditya-L1 this year. It will be the first space-based Indian mission to study the Sun. This rocket will be carried by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). Aditya-L1's instruments are programmed to observe the solar atmosphere, especially the chromosphere and corona. The payloads of Aditya L1 are expected to provide important information to understand the issues such as coronal heating, coronal mass ejection (CME), pre-solar flare and solar flare activities. The Aditya-L1 mission will also help reveal the dynamics of space weather, propagation of solar particles ...
