Aditya L1: Aditya L1 did a big feat, saying the earth good bye moved towards the sun
Aditya L1 Update: Aditya L1, who set out on the Sun mission, has achieved new success and has stepped forward. ISRO has given a fresh update on this.
ISRO's popular Sun Mission Aditya L1 is constantly setting new record. Now Aditya L1 has said goodbye to the last orbit of the earth and has moved towards the sun. It has successfully changed orbit to reach the Longregion Point 1 ( L1 ) between Earth and Sun.
ISRO reported on the social media platform X ( formerly on Twitter ) that the process of changing the orbit is completed at 2:00 pm. ISRO stated, "Aditya L1 has successfully completed the Trans Longregion Point 1 Insuron ( TTL1I) manufacturer and is on the path leading to L1. It will be installed in the orbit around L1 through a process after 110 days."
ISRO has also stated that this is the fifth successful journey for another celestial body in space other than Earth. ISRO has sent a spacecraft to the moon three times before and once to Mars.
Understand in simple terms what happens L1 Point
Actually the L-1 point is located in space 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, where the gravity of the sun and the earth are similar to each other. That is why anything present here can remain in its place for a long time without spending fuel. From here there is no danger of any object wandering on the infinite journey of space. If someone pushes something present here, it will come back to its place. This is the point where no celestial body is covered, which causes 24 hours of sunlight. Therefore solar studies will be done by installing Aditya L1 here.
India's first mission to study the sun
On 3 September ISRO launched Aditya L1. It takes about 120 days to reach the destination. Seven different payloads have been placed in it for an in-depth study of the upper surface of the Sun. It has been developed by two indigenous institutions indigenous together with ISRO. The main objective of the mission is to study the upper surface of the sun as well as the effects of solar activities and space weather.
