ISRO Adds Another Glory To Its Name With Aditya-L1!
The Spacecraft will do its designation work for the next five years from the orbit which is 1.5 million km away from the earth.
Everything is falling into place for ISRO. The Indian Space Agency ended 2023 on a high note with a successful Lunar Mission. Giving a good start to 2024, ISRO launched a mission to study black holes and supernovas. Now Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO) added another feather to its illustrious cap.
Having successfully completed the Lunar mission, ISRO is now focused on the Solar Mission. As part of this, ISRO launched the Aditya L1 mission. The spacecraft completed a big milestone by entering the orbit. The spacecraft reached the 'halo' orbit from where it would work for five years.
ISRO announced the news on social media. Aditya-L1 mission was started to study the Sun and its surface. The Spacecraft will do its designation work for the next five years from the orbit which is 1.5 million km away from the earth.
The specialty of the mission is that ISRO emerged as the third space body that had sent a spacecraft to study the Sun. Earlier NASA and the European Space Agency did it and it was the turn of ISRO to achieve the big milestone now.
It took over four months for Aditya-L1 to enter the designated orbit. Back on September 2, 2023, the mission was launched. Cut to 127 days it reached the orbit to do the work. After Chandrayan-3's successful mission, ISRO shifted its focus to Solar Mission in a few days. The hard work is now paying off.
"Greetings from Aditya-L1!I've safely arrived at Lagrange Point L1, 1.5 million km from my home planet. Excited to be far away, yet intimately connected to unravel the solar mysteries #ISRO," ISRO said on Social media.
