INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
BENGALURU: As Vikram and Pragyan, the Chandrayaan-3 lander and rover continue to do science on the Moon, Isro has set the date for the
launch of its solar mission on September 2.Aditya-L1 is the first space-based observatory-class Indian solar mission to study the Sun
It is planned to be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrangian point1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5-million-km from
Earth.A satellite placed in L1 point has the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation/eclipse
This will provide a greater advantage of observing the solar activities continuously.Chandrayaan-3 Rover Pragyan Successfully Crosses First
Lunar Obstacle- A 100-mm deep CRATER!The spacecraft will carry seven payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere, and the outermost
layers of the Sun (the corona) using electromagnetic and particle detectors
Using the special vantage point of L1, four payloads will directly view the Sun and the remaining three payloads will carry out in-situ
crucial information to understand the problems of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, pre-flare and flare activities, and their
invites citizens to witness the launch of Aditya L 1, Indian's first solar mission
