Aditya-L1 spacecraft, known as India's solar observatory, has completed its first halo orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1), announced mission officials at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
The Prime Minister posted on X: "India creates yet another landmark. India's first solar observatory Aditya-L1 reaches its destination."
As part of the final HOI maneuver, ISRO fired the control engines of Aditya L1 spacecraft for a small duration and successfully placed it into a Halo orbit.
ISRO will perform the final manoeuvre to place Aditya L1 in a Halo orbit around Lagrange Point L1.
Earlier on September 19, Aditya L1 had successfully performed a crucial Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) manoeuvre that put it on the Sun-Earth L1 point trajectory
India’s first solar mission, the Aditya-L1 spacecraft, has successfully conducted the second earth-bound manoeuvre, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)…
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 the solar activities and its effect on space weather in real time.
Modi, in a message on X, said: “Our tireless scientific efforts will continue in order to develop better understanding of the Universe for the welfare of entire humanity.”
