The camera on board Aditya L1 captured the image of its largest payload, Visible emission line Coronagraph (VELC) and SUIT instruments on September 4, according to ISRO. The camera also captured images of the Earth and the Moon on the second day of its four month long journey to L1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aditya L1 took off on a polar launch satellite vehicle on September 2 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. On Tuesday, the spacecraft successfully performed the second Earth bound manoeuvre. It attained an orbit of 282km x 40225 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next Earth bound manoeuvre is scheduled for September 10 around 2:30 am IST. Aditya L1 which carried seven different payloads to carry out a detailed study of the sun. Four of payloads will observe the light from the sun and the other three will measure in situ parametres of the magnetic and plasma fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Aditya-L1 Mission:<br>\ud83d\udc40Onlooker!<br><br>Aditya-L1, <br>destined for the Sun-Earth L1 point, <br>takes a selfie and <br>images of the Earth and the Moon.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AdityaL1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AdityaL1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/54KxrfYSwy\">pic.twitter.com\/54KxrfYSwy<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ISRO (@isro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/isro\/status\/1699663615169818935?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 7, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>ISRO took to twitter to share these remarkable visuals which include a selfie snapped by Aditya L1 during its journey. The major objectives of the solar mission include study of the physics of solar corona and its heating mechanism, the solar wind acceleration, dynamics and coupling of the solar atmosphere, solar wind distribution, origin of coronal mass ejections (CME) and flares and near earth space weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aditya L1\u2019s placement at L1 offers a distinct advantage which helps in continous monitoring of the Sun without experiencing eclipses or occultation. This unobstructed view is important in studying the solar activities and its impact on space weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission will provide crucial insights into various solar phenomena including field propagation, particle, space weather dynamics, pre flare and flare activities, coronal mass ejections and coronal heating. Lagrange points is named after Italian French mathematician Joseph Louis Lagrange. These points offer unique regions in space where objects experience reduced fuel consumption and can orbit due to the gravitational balance between the Sun and the Earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aditya L1 took off on a polar launch satellite vehicle on September 2 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":487429,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Aditya L1 space probe takes selfie, images of Earth, Moon","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1497,6475],"tags":[160372,64201,39216],"yst_prominent_words":[25277,18431,7208,23036,34427,14451],"ppma_author":[140543],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/d2r2ijn7njrktv.cloudfront.net\/apnlive\/uploads\/2023\/09\/07145918\/Capture-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"authors":[{"term_id":140543,"user_id":4,"is_guest":0,"slug":"apnnewsdesk","display_name":"APN Live","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/478eacb893eda88aa6ed8d99b005bf58?s=96&r=g"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487427"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487427"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=487427"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=487427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- html is corrupted -->
