Aditya L1 Successfully Undergoes The Second Earth-Bound Manoeuvre: ISRO

Bengaluru, Sep 5: Early on Tuesday, the second earth-bound manoeuvre of Aditya L1, the first Indian mission to study the Sun in orbit, was successfully completed, according to ISRO. The mission was carried out by ISRO's Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC). "From ISTRAC, Bengaluru, the second Earth-bound movement (EBN#2) is successfully carried out. During this operation, the satellite was tracked by ISTRAC/ISRO ground stations in Mauritius, Bengaluru, and Port Blair. The new orbit obtained is 282 km by 40225 km, according to a statement from ISRO on X (formerly Twitter). It stated that the following manoeuvre (EBN#3) is planned for September 10, 2023, about 02:30 IST.The first observatory in India to study the Sun from space, Aditya-L1, is in a halo orbit around the first sun-earth Lagrangian point (L1), which is around 1.5 million kilometres from the planet. On September 3, the first earthbound movement was executed successfully. Before entering the transfer orbit towards the Lagrange point L1, the spacecraft will perform two more earth-bound orbital movements. After roughly 127 days, Aditya-L1 is anticipated to reach the planned orbit at the L1 point.On September 2, the Aditya-L1 spacecraft was successfully launched by ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C57) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota. The Aditya-L1 spacecraft was successfully injected into an elliptical orbit of 23519500 km around the globe after a mission period of 63 minutes and 20 seconds. A satellite positioned in a halo orbit around the L1 point, according to ISRO, has the significant benefit of continuously seeing the Sun without any occultation or eclipses. This will provide us a better opportunity to watch the solar activity and how it affects the space weather in real time.Aditya-L1 is carrying seven scientific payloads that were produced domestically by ISRO and national research organisations, including as the Inter University…
