According to the head of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Sridhara Somanath, the company plans several missions at once. Aditya-L1 is the closest of them.
"The rocket will probably be assembled today or tomorrow. We plan to launch in the first week of September, if everything goes according to plan," Mir24 quotes.
Aditya-L1 will be launched into a halo orbit near the Lagrange point L1 of the Sun-Earth system at a distance of 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. At this point, the probe can be stationary relative to the planet and the luminary. This will allow you to observe the Sun without hindrance. The main goal of the mission is to study the solar corona, chromosphere, as well as solar radiation in different spectra.
On August 23, the Indian station "Chandrayan-3" successfully landed on the surface of the Moon. The spacecraft was launched on July 14 from the launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Center, located on the island of Sriharikota. Later, the country's space agency published the first photo of the Moon obtained from the Vikram descent module.
