ISRO Chairman S Somanath  announced that Aditya-L1 will  reach  Lagrangian point L1 on January 6, allowing for  continued  and in-depth study of the Sun. 

  ISRO Chairman S Somanath  announced that Aditya-L1 will  reach Lagrange  point L1 on January 6.  The  point is 1.5 million km  from Earth. Launched from Sriharikota on September 2, India’s first solar mission will perform  a crucial maneuver by approaching  L1. This  maneuver  will ensure its stable orbit, allowing for continuous and in-depth study of the Sun.  “Once  successfully placed  at point L1,  it will be there for the next five years,  collecting  all the data  that is  very important not  only  for India  but  also  for the entire world. The data will be very useful  in understanding  the dynamics of the  sun  and how it affects our  lives,”  the ISRO chief  was quoted  as  saying by PTI.  

 It was earlier reported that the European Space Agency (ESA)  will  play  an important  role in supporting  ISRO in  its  solar mission. They will provide deep space communication services and  help  ISRO  test vital  new flight dynamics software. 

  A vision of  India’s future in space 

 In his  speech,  Somanath  emphasized  India’s ambitions in  the field of  space technology. He emphasized the importance of India becoming a technologically advanced  country.  He  discussed plans  to build an Indian space station, ‘Bharatiya Space  Station’,  in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision. 

  Somanath said  that while  India  may  not be the best in every field, it should  focus  on areas where it  can  excel. This strategy is  essential  for India’s space missions and aims to make India an important part of the global space community. 

  “In  the space sector, we are seeing  the  emergence of new  players.  We  will  support, encourage and build the economy around the new  generation,”  he said.
