Aditya LI mission ISRO is the next big thing after the successful Chandrayan -3. It seems India is all set to take the global space genre by storm with its space research programmes. Aditya L1 mission will help in understanding the dynamics of the central star of our solar system and its weather conditions.

Teehafun brings for its readers all the information about India’s tryst with The Sun.

Aditya L1 mission will observe the dynamics of the Sun and how these impact the Earth. Yet another milestone in the mission to explore space, this mission by ISRO has been lauded by space research organizations worldwide. India’s first solar space observatory will study the sun from the orbit around L1. It is expected that Aditya L1 will be sending across 1440 images per day for analysis after it reaches its destination.

Which is the launch vehicle for Aditya L1 mission?

ISRO has used the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-“PSLV-XL” variant which is C-57 for carrying the spacecraft.

Which companies are involved in Aditya L1?

India’s maiden mission to the sun by ISRO will be etched in history in golden letters. Aditya L1 mission ISRO will give an insight into coronal mass injection, coronal heating, pre-flare and flare activities and their characteristics, propagation of fields, space weather etc.

Along with ISRO, (Indian Space Research Organization), the following companies are involved in Aditya L1:

• Indian Institute of Astrophysics
• Department of Science and Technology- Suitable coronagraph” payload which is mounted on the instrument
• European Space Agency- Deep space communication services
• Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Pune – SUIT instrument
• Physical Research Laboratory Ahmedabad- Apex instrument used in Aditya L1
• U R Rao Satellite Centre-SoLEXS and HEL1OS payloads
• Laboratory for Electro-Optics System, Bengaluru- Magnetometer payload
• Space Physics Laboratory, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram – PAPA payload
• Larsen& Turbo- Provided crucial components for Aditya L1 Mission ISRO. Components like nozzle bucket flange, booster segments etc. were provided by the manufacturing giant.

List of Aditya L1 manufacturers:

The successful launch of Aditya L1 mission ISRO is a testament to India’s deep indulgence in space research programmes. Backed by ISRO, this mission enhances India’s position in ground-breaking advancements in the global space industry. Though Aditya L1 is the brainchild of the team at ISRO, there are 2 Hyderabad based companies whose contribution cannot be undermined and these are:

• Ananth Technologies: On-board computers, payload DC-DC converters, modular EED systems, star sensors and 48 sub-systems like Quad SBU, NGCP, SARB, tracking transporter etc.
• MTAR Technologies Limited: Supplied electro-pneumatic modules, propulsion engines, satellite values, propulsion systems, safety couplers, connector assemblies, nose cones etc.

Aditya L1 Mission Updates:

• India’s first solar space observatory mission, Aditya L1 mission ISRO has implemented the 4th Earth-bound manoeuvre on 15th September’23 at 2:15 AM IST.
• ISRO had earlier said that Aditya L1 would stay in the earth’s orbit for 16 days and during this time it would undergo 5 manoeuvres to gain the needed velocity for its mission ahead. It would further undergo Trans-Lagrangian1 Insertion (TLI) Manoeuvre which would mark the beginning of its 110-day journey to the destination around L1 Lagrange.
• TLI is scheduled to happen on 19th September’23.

Conclusion

Studying the sun has never been easy because it is a hot ball of helium and hydrogen gases. The radiations and light emitted by the sun are harmful and Earth’s atmosphere acts as a filter and doesn’t let it enter its space. Thus, studying the sun from outside the Earth’s atmosphere will help in understanding a lot about the largest object in our solar system.
