Aditya L1 Launch LIVE Updates: Two important things to remember
– Aditya L1 Mission will not “land” on the Sun. It will be placed in the orbit of the Sun-Earth system.
– It will be placed in a halo orbit around Lagrangian Point 1 (L1) – 1.5 million km from the Earth in the direction of the Sun. It will revolve around the Sun and observe solar activities and their effect on space weather real-time.
Aditya L1 Launch LIVE Updates: The probe that ‘touched’ the Sun
NASA’s Parker Probe touched the Sun for the first time in history in 2021. The probe navigated Sun’s upper atmosphere, known as the corona, and sampled particles and magnetic fields within.
Aditya L1 Launch LIVE Updates: Elon Musk will be watching
SpaceX’s Starlink satellites were hit by a geomagnetic storm triggered by a solar flare. It is these flare-ups that Aditya’s VELC is set to study
Aditya L1 Launch LIVE Updates: What do we need to know about the Sun?
India expects to get past, present and future info on the after analysing Aditya L1 data. This will help it understand possible climatic changes on Earth in the decades and centuries ahead.
Aditya L1 Launch LIVE Updates: The key engine that Aditya will rely on
‘LAM’ a small engine has a will critical role to play in the Aditya L1 mission. The successful operation of LAM, short for Liquid Apogee Motor, is vital to place the craft in a halo orbit at L1.
