Major objectives of India’s solar mission include the study of the physics of solar corona and its heating mechanism, the solar wind acceleration, coupling and dynamics of the solar atmosphere, solar wind distribution and temperature anisotropy, and origin of Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) and flares and near-earth space weather.
The Aditya-L1 mission is expected to reach the observation point in four months. It will be placed in a halo orbit around Lagrangian Point 1 (or L1), which is 1.5 million km away from the Earth in the direction of the sun.
ISRO's maiden solar mission launched earlier this week – mere days after the historic lunar landing mission Chandrayaan-3. The Indian Space Research Organisation will now undertake trials for the Gaganyaan mission.
“Next, I think, will be the first trial flight of Gaganyaan, which might happen in the month of October. That is, next month itself," ANI quoted Union Minister of State Jitendra Singh to add.
The spacecraft is equipped with seven payloads to study the sun’s corona, chromosphere, photosphere and solar wind.
“Those seven payloads are going to study the sun as a star in all the possible spectrum positions that we have visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray. … It’s like we’re going to get a black and white image, the color image and the high-definition image, 4K image of the sun, so that we don’t miss out on anything that is happening on the sun," former ISRO scientist Manish Purohit said.
The Pragyan rover from the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft was "set into Sleep mode" late on Saturday. But its batteries remain charged and receiver switched on in the hope of “a successful awakening for another set of assignments".
ISRO in its latest update said the satellite is “healthy and operating nominally" and the next manoeuvre is scheduled for Tuesday at 3:00 am IST.
Aditya L1 Latest Updates: Aditya L1 is not a complete mission to study to the Sun. This is not only true for Aditya L1 but also for all the space mission, says ISRO.
The reason is that due to the limited mass, power and volume of the spacecraft, only limited sets of instruments with limited capacity are sent with Aditya L1. Due to this, all the measurements and inputs will be taken from a fixed point, ie L1.
