ISRO sets sights on Sun, Venus and Mars: Successful moon landing boosts India’s space ambitions

Chandrayaan-3 landing final moments: How India conquered the Moon’s South Pole

With the successful lunar landing on Wednesday, India’s space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has made a significant advancement and marked a turning point in the country’s space efforts. This victory has given ISRO officials a newfound drive as they fervently prepare for their next challenging mission, one that intends to investigate the Sun, the fiery core of our solar system.

The Aditya-L1 spacecraft, a remarkable venture as India’s first space-based solar observatory, currently resides at the Sriharikota rocket port, meticulously undergoing preparations for its impending launch. ISRO is set to dispatch the Aditya-L1, equipped as a coronagraphy satellite, aboard a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket. This launch is scheduled to take place towards the latter part of August or early September.

The primary objective of this groundbreaking mission is to position the Aditya-L1 spacecraft into a halo orbit encircling the first Lagrange point, L1, within the Sun-Earth system. This distinctive orbit offers a distinct advantage, enabling the satellite to continuously observe the Sun without any interruptions caused by occultation or eclipses.
