Aditya-L1 Embarks on Pioneering Journey to Study the Sun
India's Aditya-L1 solar space observatory mission has successfully completed the Trans-Lagrangian1 Insertion (TLI), marking the fifth consecutive time Isro has transferred an object towards another celestial body. The spacecraft will now embark on a 110-day journey to reach the L1 point, approximately 1.5 million km from Earth, where it will orbit and study the Sun's activities and their impact on space weather. Aditya-L1 has seven distinct payloads and aims to investigate coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, coronal mass ejections, solar atmosphere dynamics, and temperature anisotropy.
