BENGALURU: Aditya L1 spacecraft has successfully exited the Earth’s gravitational field. India’s first solar observation mission spacecraft has traveled 9.2 lakh kilometers on its journey from Earth to the Sun, says I.S. R.O. Aditya L1 is on its way to the Lagrangian 1 point between the Earth and the Sun.
The first was India’s Mars Orbiter Mission known as Mangalyaan. Mangalyaan was India’s first interplanetary mission. Mangalyaan was successfully launched on November 5, 2013. On September 24, 2014, the probe reached the orbit of Mars. This is the second time that ISRO is sending a probe outside the Earth’s influence zone.
Aditya will conduct solar studies from a halo orbit around the Lagrange point free from the attractions of Earth and the Sun. Place the Aditya L1 probe at the Lagrangian 1 point between the Earth and the Sun after a 110-day cruise through the supercritical phase (cruise phase). The major five-year mission is to study the heating of the Sun’s atmosphere and how the radiation from it changes the climate in space and on Earth.
