Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, ministers, political leaders, and many others congratulated Isro scientists on the successful launch of India’s first solar mission, Aditya-L1.
Aditya-L1, India’s first solar mission, was successfully launched on Saturday by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. Many congratulations have been sent to the scientists who made this important advancement for India’s space exploration.
In addition to congratulating the researchers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised that India will keep working to “develop a better understanding of the universe”. The lunar mission, according to President Droupadi Murmu, puts India’s space project on “a new trajectory”.
After Chandrayaan-3’s success, India resumed its spaceflight. Congratulations to our Isro scientists and engineers for the productive launch of India’s first Solar Mission, Aditya -L1. To better comprehend the universe for the sake of all mankind, our diligent scientific endeavours will continue, the prime minister declared.
The launch was hailed as a “landmark achievement” by President Droupadi Murmu, who said that it will contribute to a deeper knowledge of space. Additionally, she praised the Isro researchers.
“The launch of Aditya-L1, India’s first solar mission, is a major accomplishment that shifts the course of India’s domestic space programme. It will make it easier for us to comprehend cosmic phenomena and space. I commend the engineers and scientists of Isro for this extraordinary achievement. My warmest wishes for the mission’s success” commented President Murumu on X.
Jitendra Singh, the Union Minister, referred to it as a “sunshine moment for India” when he addressed the Isro scientists.
Isro, congratulations. It is undoubtedly a bright spot for India, the Minister remarked, as the entire globe anxiously awaited this.
It was described as a “unparalleled accomplishment” by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He referred to it as a “giant step” towards realising the Prime Minister’s goal of creating an Atmanirbhar Bharat in space.
“Our scientists have repeatedly demonstrated their might and genius. Aditya L1, India’s first solar mission, was successfully launched, to the pride and joy of the country. Congratulations to the Isro team for this exceptional success,” Shah stated.
The expedition, according to S Jaishankar, minister of external affairs, is “yet another feather in Isro’s cap.” The minister said, “Their accomplishments continue to inspire the country and boost our stature around the world.”
The Isro scientists received praise from Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge for their accomplishments, which “would keep inspiring our younger generation.”
“We owe a debt of gratitude to our scientists, space engineers, researchers, and the dedicated team at Isro for the Aditya L1 Solar Observation Mission’s successful launch. Together, we honour them through our collective achievements and
Will Aditya L1 land on the Sun? No
The solar probe would be placed at the first Lagrange point in the Earth-Sun system, unlike Chandrayaan 3, which saw the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover softly settle near the lunar south pole.
The spacecraft is expected to travel the 1.5 million kilometres to the L1 point through a series of manoeuvres over the course of four months, according to ISRO. Surprisingly, this gap only accounts for 1% of the total 150 million miles between Earth and the Sun.
Aditya L1 launched, what happens next?
According to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the entire journey from the launch to reaching L1 is expected to take approximately four months for the Aditya L1 mission. Here is a breakdown of the journey to the Sun-Earth system’s L1 point.
Initial Orbit: The spacecraft was initially placed in a Low Earth Orbit.
Elliptical Orbit: The orbit will then be adjusted to become more elliptical.
Exit from Earth’s Gravitational Sphere of Influence (SOI): The spacecraft will be propelled towards the L1 point using onboard propulsion. As the spacecraft moves towards the Lagrange point, it will exit Earth’s gravitational Sphere of Influence.
Cruise Phase: After leaving Earth’s SOI, the cruise phase of the mission will commence.
Halo Orbit: Subsequently, the spacecraft will be injected into a large halo orbit around the Lagrange point (L1).
