Adithya L1 - A Leap Towards the Sun

        



            An Indian by heart with a metallic exoskeleton took a ambitious leap on September 2 at 11:50 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh with a vision of exploring the Sun and its flaky skin.

            Aditya L1 , India's first space - based solar observatory housed with seven payloads ( instruments ) successfully embarked on its journey towards the void from second launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre in AP. 

            Aditya L1 is aiming to reach at the L1 ( Langrage 1 ) , where it is going to observe the dynamics of Sun's Chromosphere and Corona , study the physics behind partially ionized plasma and Coronal Mass Ejections   ( CMEs ) and comprehend on space weather and origin , composition and dynamics of solar wind.

$ Langrage.....These are positions in space where gravitational forces of a two body systems like the Sun and Earth produce a kind of cushion region which significantly reduce the Spacecraft Fuel consumption.

            A micro-idea with a initial budget of 3 crores boomed and expanded its scope into a extensive project with a price tag of 378 crores led by Nigar Shaji as the Project Director and K Sanskarasubramaniam as the Principal Scientist of the solar mission.

# Aditya L1 would be orbiting at 1.5 million km away from the Earth but its only 1% of the total distance between Earth and Sun.
