Bengaluru, August 24, 2023 (PTI) - India is on the brink of a historic achievement as its inaugural solar mission, Aditya-L1, gears up for liftoff from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. 

The highly anticipated launch is scheduled for September 12, 2023, with the mission being carried into space aboard the reliable PSLV-C53 rocket.

Aditya-L1 represents a groundbreaking solar observatory aimed at meticulously studying the enigmatic atmosphere of our Sun. This ambitiously crafted mission encompasses the comprehensive exploration of the Sun's corona, chromosphere, and photosphere, in addition to investigating a wide spectrum of solar occurrences such as flares and coronal mass ejections.

The spacecraft itself is slated to be stationed within a halo orbit encircling Lagrange point 1 (L1), an equilibrium point nestled amidst the gravitational tugs of Earth and the Sun. 

This orbital vantage will provide Aditya-L1 with an uninterrupted line of sight to the Sun, free from any interference caused by Earth.

Equipped with a suite of seven cutting-edge scientific instruments, Aditya-L1 is primed to capture invaluable data regarding the Sun's intricate atmosphere. 

This data trove is poised to unravel the enigmatic physics governing the solar atmosphere, shed light on the mechanisms that fuel the corona's blazing heat, and discern the underlying triggers behind solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
