After only a few days on the moon, india will launch its first solar mission on Saturday. The Aditya L1 mission will go to the sun for 125 days on ISRO's reliable PSLV. According to isro, the 23.10 hour countdown to the launch of Aditya L1 aboard PSLV C57 began here on Friday. The sun observatory project, which will launch at 11.50 a.m. on saturday from this spaceport's second launch pad, follows India's Chandrayaan-3 moon mission, which was a success last month.

According to isro Chairman S. Somanath, it would take the sun mission 125 days to go to the precise radius. Aditya L1 is intended to undertake in-situ measurements of the solar wind at L1 (the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point), which is roughly 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, and to provide distant studies of the solar corona. There are five Lagrangian points between the sun and Earth, and the L1 point in the Halo orbit would offer the best opportunity for uninterrupted sight of the sun free from eclipses, according to ISRO.

The ability to continually observe solar activity will be improved, according to ISRO. The Bengaluru-based space agency stated that the sun is the closest star and can therefore be researched in much more depth as compared to the other stars while launching such a challenging mission. According to isro, more might be discovered about stars in the Milky Way and other galaxies by studying the Sun. In the solar system, the sun exhibits a number of eruptive events and releases enormous amounts of energy. The near-world space environment may experience numerous forms of disruptions if such explosive solar occurrences are directed towards the world.
