After the successful soft landing of Chandrayaan-3, ISRO is now set to launch the country’s first solar mission Aditya-L1, designed to provide remote observations of the solar corona and observations at solar wind at L1 (Sun-Earth Lagrangian point), about 1.5 million km from Earth.
Aditya LI launches LIVE updates
It is India’s first solar space observatory and will be launched by PSLV-C57. It will carry seven different payloads to study the sun in detail, four of which will observe light from the sun and the remaining three will measure in situ parameters of plasma and magnetic fields.
Aditya-L1 mission launch date and time
The solar mission is scheduled to take off on September 2 at 11:50 a.m. from the Sriharikota spaceport. On August 30, ISRO said its Aditya-L1 mission, designed to study the Sun, had completed launch rehearsals and internal tests.

Where to watch ISRO’s Aditya-L1 mission LIVE
You can watch the live telecast on Doordarshan channel or ISRO’s YouTube channel. ISRO on September 1 also shared the live telecast link of the Aditya-L1 Mission. The launch of the Aditya L1 is set for 11:50 am (IST) today.
The main objective of the mission Aditya L1
Aditya-L1 will be placed in a halo orbit around Lagrangian Point 1 (or L1), 1.5 million kilometers from Earth in the direction of the sun. It is expected to cover the full distance in four months’ time. The journey to the designated mission site is an incredible 1.5 million kilometers from Earth and will take about four months to complete.

This strategic location will allow Aditya-L1 to continuously observe the sun without being obstructed by eclipses or eclipses, allowing scientists to study the sun’s activities and their impact on time. space saving in real time. In addition, spacecraft data will help determine the sequence of processes leading to solar eruption events and contribute to a deeper understanding of the causes of space weather.
The main goals of India’s solar mission include studying the physics of the solar halo and its heat generation mechanism, solar wind acceleration, coupling and atmospheric dynamics. solar wind distribution and temperature anisotropy, as well as the origin of the coronal mass ejection (CME) and flares and near-Earth space weather.
