Aditya L1 Solar Misson Launch Date & Time 2023

The Indian Space & Research Organization has just announced the Aditya L1 Mission 2023, a groundbreaking solar mission that will carry a spacecraft to the Lagrangian Point to study the behavior of the Sun. This marks ISRO’s first-ever solar mission, generating immense excitement among citizens. Following their recent success with the Chandrayaan 3 Mission and its landing on the moon’s South Pole, ISRO is now set to launch the Aditya L1 Mission in 2023. This mission will focus on studying gas patterns, coronal heating, and solar wind acceleration. Additionally, it will carry various payloads dedicated to space-based Sun research.

The Sun emits a variety of radiations that are unable to pass through electromagnetism and reach the surface of the Earth. To examine these radiations ISRO Indian Space & Research Organization is planning to begin the Aditya L-1 Mission. The date of the mission is on September 2nd, 2023. It will be held in ISRO’s Launch Pad with the PSLV-XL launcher. The highly anticipated event is expected to launch the spacecraft to explore further.

• The development, dynamics, and the origin of CMEs.
• Find out the sequence of actions that occur in multiple layers (chromosphere, base, and the extended corona) that eventually lead to solar eruptive eruptions.
• Topology of magnetic fields along with magnetic field data within the corona of the solar system.

ISRO Aditya L1 – Why ISRO wants to take a closer look at the Sun

Following the Mars and Mars missions, Isro is launching a solar-powered mission, called Aditya L1, to investigate the energy source which sustains life on Earth.

It is believed that the Sun is the closest star to us and is able to be studied in greater detail than other stars. The Sun is an extremely active star that goes far beyond the scope of what we can see. It is the site of several eruptions and produces huge quantities of energy.

If these solar flares focus on the Earth this could trigger diverse kinds of disturbances in the Earth’s near-Earth environment. Spacecrafts and communications systems are susceptible to these disturbances and, consequently, the early detection of such situations is essential to take steps to correct the situation prior to. The Sun offers a natural lab for studying phenomena that are not specifically studied in a lab.

Aditya L1 Solar Misson – Solar missions launched by other countries

1960–1969	US’s Nasa launched six Pioneer missions, (5, 6A, 7B, 8C, 9D, E). Of 6 orbiter missions, 5 were successful, one failed.
1974-1997	Helios A (Germany-US, 1974 – 1982), Helios B (Germany, 1976 – 1985), ISEE-3 (Nasa, 1978–1982), Ulysses (ESANasa, 1994-95), WIND (Nasa, 19942020) SOHO (ESA-Nasa, 1996 extended till 2025), ACE (Nasa, 1997 until 2024). All missions were successful.

ISRO Aditya L1 Mission 2023

Aditya L1 shall be the first space-based Indian mission to investigate the Sun. The spacecraft will be placed in an orbit with a halo around the Lagrange one (L1) in the Sun-Earth system. It is approximately 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth. A satellite placed in the halo orbit around the L1 point has the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation/eclipses. This provides a bigger benefit of being able to observe the sun’s activities and their impact on the weather of space in real time. 

Spacecrafts carry seven payloads that will observe the chromosphere, photosphere, and the outermost layer of the Sun (the corona) by using magnetic field and particle detectors. Utilizing the observation location L1, 4 payloads are able to directly observe the Sun and the other three payloads conduct in-situ research on fields and particles around the Lagrange point L1, thereby conducting important scientific research on the solar propagatory effects that affect dynamical processes in the interplanetary medium.

The advantages for Aditya L1 payloads can be anticipated to provide the most important information to better understand the issue of the coronal mass ejection, coronal heating as well as pre-flare and flare activity and their properties, as the dynamics in space weather, particle propagation, and fields, etc.
