Exploring the Aditya-L1

Mission: India's First Space-

Based Solar Observatory
 Introduction

- Introduction: The Indian Space Research

Organisation is set to embark on a groundbreaking
venture known as the Aditya-L1 mission.

- Key Date: Scheduled for launch on September 2

from Sriharikota.

- Mission Objective: India's first space-based solar

observation mission.
Aditya-L1 Mission
Overview
- Introduction to Aditya-L1: ISRO's
pioneering space-based observatory for
studying the Sun.

- Orbit and Location: Positioned in a halo

orbit around Lagrange Point 1 , 1.5 million
kilometers from Earth.

- Continuous Observation: Uninterrupted

solar observation is a primary goal.
 Significance of
Lagrange Point 1
- Equilibrium at Lagrange Points:
Lagrange points provide
gravitational stability.

- Advantages of L1 Position:
Unobstructed view of the Sun for
continuous observation.

- Comparison to SOHO: Similarities

with the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory Satellite .
 - Investigating the Solar Atmosphere:
Aditya-L1 carries seven payloads to
study the photosphere, chromosphere,
and corona.

Aditya-L1’s - Overview of Payload Instruments:

Scientific Highlight key instruments like VELC,
SUIT, SoLEXS, and more.
Payloads
- Contribution to Understanding Solar
Dynamics: These payloads contribute to
our understanding of phenomena like
coronal heating and space weather.
 - Solar Influence on the Solar System:
The Sun significantly shapes planetary
evolution and weather, impacting
satellites, electronics, and Earth's climate.

Significance - Predicting Solar Storms: Continuous

of Solar solar observations are essential for

tracking solar storms and predicting their
impacts.
Study
- L1 as a Crucial Monitoring Point: All
solar storms heading towards Earth pass
through L1, making it a crucial
monitoring point.
 - Role of LAM Engine: The Liquid
Apogee Motor engine, developed by
ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems
Centre , is vital to Aditya-L1's
Key Feature success.

- Liquid - LAM's History in ISRO Missions:

Apogee Highlight its role in previous missions
like Mangalyaan and Chandrayaan-3.
Motor
Engine - Fuel Efficiency and Positioning
Benefits: Discuss how LAM engines
conserve fuel and ensure optimal
spacecraft positioning.
 - Recap of Mission Significance: Aditya-L1's
mission is a significant step in India's space
exploration journey

- Emphasis on Continuous Solar Observation:

Uninterrupted solar observation will enhance our
understanding of solar phenomena
Conclusion - Importance for Earth's Safety: Predicting and
monitoring solar storms contribute to Earth's
safety

- LAM Engine Innovation: ISRO's commitment to

innovation and efficiency through the LAM
engine
