ISRO’s trusted PSLV will carry the Aditya L1 mission on a 125-day voyage to the Sun.
It will travel 1.5 million km (932,000 miles) from the Earth – 1% of the Earth-Sun distance.
If this mission of ISRO is successful then India will be the first Asian nation to be placed in solar orbit.
On the successful launch of Aditya L-1, ISRO Chairman S Somanath said on September 2, “The Aditya L1 spacecraft has been injected in an elliptical orbit…which is intended very precisely by the PSLV.”
ISRO Chairmen also said, ” I want to congratulate the PSLV for such a different mission approach today to put Aditya L1 in the right orbit.”
