India's first solar Observatory

According to a report issued on Monday by the  ISRO, Aditya-L1, India's first solar observatory to be launched into space. It will take off on Saturday, September 2, at 11.50 a.m. from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.

Goal to Study the from distance of 15lakhs Km

Former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan responded to the launch announcement happily to ANI.  He said that, it is a good initiative because they were going to study the Sun from a distance of 15 lakh kilometres.

The PSLV XL rocket of ISRO will launch the Aditya-L1 mission from Sriharikota's Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC-SHAR). A Low Earth Orbit will be the spacecraft's initial location. The spacecraft will then utilise internal propulsion to launch itself towards the Lagrange point (L1) as the orbit becomes more elliptical.

Aditya-L1 will take four months to travel

As it approaches L1, the spacecraft will exit the gravitational Sphere of Influence (SOI) of Earth. The spacecraft will enter its cruise phase after departing SOI before being sent into a large halo orbit around L1. From launch to L1, Aditya-L1 would need around four months to travel.

Watch the historic event live

ISRO informed the public of the launch date and time while also inviting them to watch the historic event live from the Sriharikota space complex. To register to watch the programming from the Launch View Gallery, the space agency provided a link.  Probably starting at 12 p.m. on Tuesday, August 29, registration will be available.

Mission of the Aditya L1 Mission

1. Watch the in-situ particle and plasma environment that the Sun provides, since this information will be used to investigate particle dynamics.
2. CME formation, evolution, and dynamics.
3. Measurements of the coronal and coronal loop plasma's temperatures, velocities, and densities.
4. Find out the sequence of activities that occur at different layers (chromosphere, base, and extended corona) and ultimately lead to solar eruptive events.
5. Drivers of space weather (solar wind dynamics, composition, and origin).
6. Magnetic field measurements and field topologies in the solar corona.
