Aditya-L1 Mission
Aditya L1 is the first space based Indian mission to study the Sun. The spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around the L1 point of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million kms from the Earth. A satellite placed at the L1 point has the advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any interferences. This will provide a greater advantage of observing the solar activities and its effect on space weather in real time.
The Aditya-L1 mission, India's first space based solar observatory. It was launched in September and reached its target orbit on January 6, 2024. The spacecraft is placed in a halo orbit around the Sun-Earth system's Lagrange point 1, which is about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth.
