ISRO’s next mission is to observe the solar corona from a Lagrange point of the Sun’s and Earth’s. 1.5 million kilometers from Earth ‘Aditya-L1’ will be observing the solar corona. This will be another big mission after the success of Chandrayaan-3.
There are some points in space where the gravitational forces of two large bodies balance out or create a region of equilibrium these points are known as Lagrange points. There are some Lagrange points between the Sun and Earth, these Lagrange points will be used to reduce the fuel consumption of spacecraft.
ISRO says,
“A satellite placed in the halo orbit around the L1 point has the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation/eclipses. This will provide a greater advantage of observing solar activities and their effect on space weather in real-time”.
Aditya-L1 spacecraft will be launched from the PSLV-C57 rocket to observe the sun. The Spacecraft is designed to study the Sun’s upper atmosphere (chromosphere and corona). The observation will be placed by interacting with the solar wind.
The mission is aimed at studying the mechanics of ionized plasma in the solar atmosphere and the solar corona’s mass ejection (CMEs) and solar fare. The Aditya-L1 spacecraft will be fitted with seven payloads to study the solar corona, photosphere, chromosphere, and solar wind.
