India's Dual Space Missions: From Moon to Sun
India is set to launch the Aditya-L1 spacecraft on September 2 to study the sun and its impact on space weather. The spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around Lagrangian point 1, allowing for continuous observation of the sun without any obstructions. The mission aims to study solar wind and its potential disruptions on Earth's communication and navigation systems. This will be India's first space-based observatory for studying the sun, following its recent successful moon landing.
