ISRO Sets September 2 Launch Date for Aditya-L1 Solar Mission Following Chandrayaan-3

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is preparing to launch the Aditya-L1 solar mission on September 2. The spacecraft will study the Sun from an orbit around the L1 point, providing observations of the solar corona and solar wind. The mission will carry seven payloads to observe different aspects of the Sun, including the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. Aditya-L1 aims to understand phenomena such as coronal heating, coronal mass ejections, and flares, as well as the dynamics of space weather. The satellite will be placed in a halo orbit around L1, allowing continuous observation of the Sun without any occultation or eclipses.
