Study Notes
ADITYA-L1 Mission
- Primary focus of the ADITYA-L1 mission is to study the Sun.
Halo Orbit around L1
- Placing the spacecraft in a halo orbit around the Lagrangian point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system provides a stable thermal environment and constant viewing of the Sun.
Spacecraft Distance from Earth
- The ADITYA-L1 spacecraft is planned to be around 1.5 million kilometers away from the Earth.
Payloads on Spacecraft
- The spacecraft will carry seven payloads to observe the Sun.
Lagrangian Point 1 (L1) Advantage
- The special vantage point of Lagrangian point 1 (L1) allows for continuous viewing of the Sun, without eclipses, and provides a clear view of the Sun's corona.
