India News: India's External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on the successful launch of India's first
Major objectives of Aditya-L1 include the study of the physics of solar corona and its heating mechanism, the solar wind acceleration, coupling and dynamics of the solar atmosphere, solar wind distribution and temperature anisotropy, and origin of Coronal Mass Ejections and flares and near-earth space weather. Aditya-L1 will study how storms and flares from the Sun emerge and impact us on Earth and our space activities,
The PSLV has placed the Aditya L-1 spacecraft into the intended orbit and from there it will now start its journey towards the Sun-Earth L-1 point or the Lagrangian Point 1 which is nearly 15 lakh Km away from the earth.
The successful launch of the maiden solar mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation came on the heels of the historic lunar landing mission - Chandrayaan-3.
