ISRO stated on Saturday the Aditya-L1 spacecraft has travelled past a distance of 9.2 lakh km from Earth, efficiently escaping the sphere of Earth’s affect.
It’s now navigating its path in the direction of the Solar-Earth Lagrange Level 1 (L1), the Bengaluru-headquartered nationwide area company stated in an announcement on X, previously Twitter.
“That is the second time in succession that ISRO may ship a spacecraft exterior the sphere of affect of the Earth, the primary time being the Mars Orbiter Mission,” it stated.
The ISRO stated earlier this month the Aditya-L1 photo voltaic mission spacecraft has commenced amassing knowledge which is able to assist scientists analyse the behaviour of particles surrounding Earth.
Knowledge collected round L1 would supply insights into the origin, acceleration, and anisotropy of photo voltaic wind and area climate phenomena, it stated.
The launch of Aditya-L1 by PSLV-C57 rocket was efficiently achieved by ISRO on September 2.
Aditya-L1 spacecraft carries a complete seven totally different payloads to review the Solar, 4 of which is able to observe the sunshine from the Solar and the remaining three will measure in-situ parameters of the plasma and magnetic fields.
Aditya-L1 will probably be positioned in a halo orbit across the Lagrangian Level 1 (L1), which is 1.5 million km from the Earth within the course of the Solar. It is going to revolve across the Solar with the identical relative place and therefore can see the Solar repeatedly.
