India’s first solar mission, Aditya-L1, is about to launch

India plans to launch its first solar observatory mission soon. This country has chosen the date of September 10 for the launch of Aditya-L1.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, while only a few days have passed since the successful landing of Chandarian 3 rover on the surface of the moon, now this country is preparing to start another mission with the aim of studying the sun. The Indian spacecraft will be launched on September 1 from the Satish Dhawn Space Center under the supervision of the Indian Space Agency.

The Indian Space Research Organization has said about this mission that this spacecraft will reach a halo orbit around Lagrange point 1 after 109 days. This point is located at a distance of 933 thousand miles and somewhere between the sun and the earth. This mission is carried out by the Indian Space Research Organization with the aim of better investigation in the field of corona heating and solar corona mass jump. Also, some solar activities, including before or after flaring, along with the dynamics of weather in space and the release of particles in the fields, will also be investigated. This mission will start its work with a budget of 3,300 pounds and carrying a number of cargoes and observation instruments for remote sensing.

In this mission, scientific objectives such as investigating the dynamics of the upper atmosphere in the Sun, better understanding of chromospheric and coronal heating, as well as in situ observations of plasma particles are carried out. Planning for this mission was initially done in 2008. Of course, after that the name of the mission was changed and this spacecraft will do its work as a full-fledged observatory to study the solar environment.
