The launch of ISRO's meteorological satellite INSAT-3DS, aiming to enhance meteorological observations and help in better weather forecasting and disaster warning, is scheduled for February 17.Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), in a post on X on Thursday said that the satellite will be launched onboard a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle F14 (GSLV F14)."The launch of the GSLV-F14/INSAT-3DS mission is set for Saturday, February 17, at 5:30pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR at Sriharikota," ISRO said.In August ISRO had launched successfully launched Chandrayaan-3, for this achievement ISRO was feted with the prestigious Leif Erikson Lunar Prize by the Husavik Museum. In last month January, the Indian Space Research Organisation had injected the Aditya-L1 Solar Mission into its designated orbit.

As a part of ISRO’s ‘Space Odyssey’, Aditya L1 - India’s first solar mission successfully performed the fourth earth-bound manoeuvre on September 15. ISRO's ground stations at Mauritius, Bengaluru, SDSC-SHAR and Port Blair tracked the satellite during the operation. Meanwhile, a transportable terminal currently stationed in the Fiji Islands for Aditya-L1 will support post-burn operations. ISRO taking to the platform X (formerly Twitter) informed that the new orbit attained is 256 km x 121973 km. The next manoeuvre for Trans-Lagragean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) is scheduled for September 19 around 02:00 Hrs. IST. After the successful soft landing of Chandrayaan 3 on the Moon, ISRO started its new space mission on September 2. ISRO launched its maiden solar mission ‘Aditya-L1’ to study Sun from point L1. The satellite will travel approximately 15 million kilometres to reach the L1 point. The total travel time from launch pad to L1 will take about four months for ‘Aditya-L1’.

After the successful soft landing of Chandrayaan 3 on Moon, ISRO started its new space odyssey on September 2. ISRO launched its maiden solar mission ‘Aditya-L1’ to study Sun from point L1. In a recent update, ISRO informed that the first Earth-bound manoeuvre was performed successfully. Taking to X, ISRO shared that the satellite is healthy and operating nominally. The next manoeuvre is scheduled for September 05, 2023, 03:00 Hrs. IST. ISRO launched India’s first solar mission ‘Aditya-L1’ from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.

On Sept 02, ISRO successfully launched its much-anticipated ‘Aditya-L1’ mission to Sun from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The PSLV-C57.1 rocket carrying the Aditya-L1 orbiter, lifted off successfully. PM Narendra Modi took to X (formerly Twitter) and congratulated ISRO scientists for the successful launch. MoS Jitendra Singh also termed the launch, a ‘sun shine’ moment for India. Aditya-L1 spacecraft is to be placed in the halo orbit around the Lagrange Point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system. It is about 1.5 million kilometres away from the Earth. Lagrange Point 1 (L1) is where the gravitational pull of both the Sun and the Earth equalises. Placing the satellite in the halo orbit around the L1 point has the advantage of continuously seeing the Sun without any eclipses.

ISRO successfully launched its much-anticipated ‘Aditya-L1’ mission to Sun from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota on Sept 02. ‘Aditya-L1’ is India’s first space-based Indian observatory mission to study the Sun. Spacecraft is carrying 7 payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere, outermost layers of Sun. ‘Aditya-L1’ is going to travel a distance of 1.5 million km from Earth, about four times farther than the Moon. Initially, spacecraft will be placed in a low earth orbit; subsequently, using an on-board propulsion system, it will be put in Lagrange point L1. The total travel time from launch pad to L1 will take about four months for ‘Aditya-L1’.

After conquering Chandrayaan 3, ISRO is all set to launch its first Sun mission ‘Aditya-L1’. Preparations for the launch of ISRO's ‘Aditya-L1’ mission are underway at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The launch of Aditya-L1 is scheduled for Sept 2, 2023, at 11:50 Hrs IST. ISRO invited citizens to witness the launch from the Sriharikota launch gallery. Aditya-L1 is India’s first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun. Spacecraft will carry 7 payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere, outermost layers of Sun. The total travel time from launch to L1 would take about four months for ‘Aditya-L1’.

Indian Space Research Organisation chief S Somanath speaking on the Aditya-L1 Mission, informed that the countdown for the launch will start on September 1. S Somanath said, “We are just getting ready for the launch. The rocket and satellite are ready. We completed the rehearsal for the launch. Tomorrow we have to start the countdown for the launch day after tomorrow.” He further added, “...Everything is working fine...All the data is coming through very well. Everything is working well. We are hopeful that by the end of 14 days, our mission will be successfully completed.”

After the stupendous success of India’s most ambitious lunar mission Chandrayaan-3, ISRO, with the help of ADITYA-L1 is aiming for the Sun. ISRO’s ADITYA-L1mission is the first space-based Indian mission to study the Sun. PM Modi, during his address on the Chandrayaan-3 success, announced India’s next space mission. Now after a long wait, ISRO scientist has finally disclosed the launch date which is September 02.

As the date for lift-off nears for India’s first solar mission ‘Aditya-L1’, ISRO shared photos of satellite. The satellite arrived at Sathish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota from U R Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru. ‘Aditya-L1’, India’s first solar mission is a space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun. ISRO is set to launch the ‘Aditya-L1’ mission to the sun on August 26 from PSLV-XL rocket. Initially, spacecraft will be placed in a low earth orbit; subsequently, using an on-board propulsion system, spacecraft will be put in Lagrange point L1. Spacecraft will carry 7 payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere and the outermost layers of the Sun. The total travel time from launch to L1 would take about four months for ‘Aditya-L1’.
