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.
