ISRO's Ambitious Aditya L-1 Mission: Exploring the Sun and Venus

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up for its next missions after the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3. ISRO is now focusing on the Aditya L-1 project, India's first dedicated scientific mission to study the sun, which is scheduled for launch in early September. Additionally, ISRO is preparing for the abort mission demonstration for Gaganyaan, India's first human spaceflight mission, expected in late September or early October. These missions mark the beginning of what ISRO's head, S Somanath, calls the "golden era" of India's space program.
