India\u2019s space-based solar observatory Aditya-L1 will be given a send off towards the Sun on September 19 when the spacecraft will be maneuvered to Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion (TL1I), the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the ISRO, the fourth Earth-bound maneuver was performed successfully at 2.15 a.m. on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cISRO’s ground stations at Mauritius, Bengaluru, SDSC-SHAR and Port Blair tracked the satellite during this operation, while a transportable terminal currently stationed in the Fiji islands for Aditya-L1 will support post-burn operations,\u201d the space agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to ISRO, the new orbit attained is 256 km x 121973 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ISRO said the next maneuver, Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) — a send-off from the Earth — is scheduled for September 19 at around 2 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Aditya-L1 is India\u2019s space based solar observatory which was orbited in low earth orbit (LEO) September 2 by an Indian rocket called Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle\u2013XL (PSLV-XL) variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The spacecraft\u2019s orbit has been raised by ISRO four times since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the spacecraft travels towards Lagrange Point (L1), it will exit the earth\u2019s gravitational Sphere of Influence (SOI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After exit from SOI, the cruise phase will start and subsequently the spacecraft will be injected into a large halo orbit around the L1 — the point where the gravitational pull of two large bodies – Sun and Earth – will be equal and hence the spacecraft will not gravitate towards any one of the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The total travel time from launch to L1 would take about four months for Aditya-L1 and the distance will be about 1.5 million km from the Earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
