ThePrint explains Aditya-L1’s milestones so far, its early promising scientific observations and which mysteries of the Sun it plans to unravel over the next few years.
Jagdev Singh, Aditya-L1's 1st principal investigator, speaks to ThePrint about the mission’s significance and the data generated so far on the 1st launch anniversary.
Aditya-L1 is the first Indian space-based observatory to study the Sun from a halo orbit around first Sun-Earth Lagrangian point (L1), located roughly 1.5 million km from earth.
The national space agency said that the sensors on STEPS instrument began measuring supra-thermal and energetic ions and electrons at distances greater than 50,000 km from Earth.
After a historic moon landing just a week ago, India’s space agency sent off the country’s first space-based Sun mission Aditya-L1 at 11.50 hours Saturday.
Aditya-L1 carries 7 payloads to study Sun and its effect on interplanetary medium. Satellite to perform series of orbit raising manoeuvres before heading towards Lagrange 1 point.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
