The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will soon launch Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun. The Bengaluru-headquartered national space agency has released an update on the mission. It said that the satellite made at UR Rao Satellite Center has reached ISRO's spaceport at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
An ISRO official told news agency PTI that the mission is likely to be launched in the first week of September. According to this mission, the spacecraft is expected to be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth.
ISRO said that the satellite placed in the halo orbit around the L1 point has the great advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any eclipse/eclipse. This will give a greater advantage of observing solar activity and its effect on space weather in real-time.
