The Indian Space Research Organisation said that the Aditya L1 spacecraft successfully underwent the fourth earth-bound manoeuvre on Friday. This is India\u2019s first space-based mission to study the Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ISRO took to X, formerly Twitter and informed that the fourth earth-bound manoeuvre (EBN4) was performed successfully. ISRO’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, the Indian space agency added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ISRO further said that the new orbit attained is 256 km x 121973 km. The next manoeuvre Trans-Lagragean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I), a send-off from the Earth is scheduled for September 19, around 02:00 Hrs. IST, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ISRO\u2019s Aditya-L1 is the first Indian space-based mission, that will study the Sun from a halo orbit around the first Sun-Earth Lagrangian point (L1). This is located approximately 1.5 million km from the planet Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, all three earth-bound manoeuvres were successfully performed in September month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the spacecraft\u2019s 16-day journey around the Earth, the manoeuvres were performed. During this time, the spacecraft will gain the necessary velocity for its further journey to L1. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After completing the fourth earth-bound orbital manoeuvres, the ISRO\u2019s Aditya L1 solar mission will further undergo a Trans-lagrangian1 insertion manoeuvre. This will mark the beginning of its nearly 110-day trajectory to the destination around the L1 Lagrange point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another manoeuvre to bind Aditya L1 to an orbit near L1 after arrival at L1 point. This is to be a balanced gravitational location between the Sun and the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around L1, the satellite will spend its whole mission life in an irregularly shaped orbit in a plane roughly perpendicular to the line joining the Sun and the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On September 2, the Aditya L1 spacecraft was successfully launched by ISRO\u2019s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C57) from the Second Launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Aditya L1 was successfully injected into an elliptical orbit of 235×19500 km around the Earth after a flight duration of 1 hour 3 minutes and 20 seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
