Aditya L1 Mission: Countdown Starts; Where to watch Live stream
Today, at 11:50 a.m. ISRO will launch India's first observatory-class solar space mission, Aditya L1, from the Satish Dhawan Space Center located in Sriharikota.
Following the historic success of Chandrayaan-3, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is ready to embark on another momentous mission, this time to the Sun. The mission, named Aditya L1, will take off from Launch Pad 2 of the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota today, at 11:50 am, September 2. It is India's first space observatory-class solar mission that aims to unravel the mysteries of the Sun, such as the cause behind Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), solar flares, solar weather and more.
The Aditya L1 mission will travel 1.5 million kilometres to reach the Lagrange 1 point, where it will observe the Sun for 5 years. During this time, it will study the Sun's corona, as well as solar flares, solar winds, and coronal mass ejections, which play a crucial role in space weather.
Yesterday, ISRO chief S Somnath said that after the launch of Aditya L1, ISRO's next target is Gaganyaan, which will take place in the first week of October. The ISRO chief also shared more details about today's launch. He explained that the launch would take place at 11:50 am; he added, "Aditya-L1 satellite is for studying our Sun. It will take another 125 days to reach the L1 point. This is a very important launch."
