After the successful landing on the Moon's surface, the Chandrayaan-3 mission has become a massive worldwide triumph for India in general and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in particular. ISRO achievements and amazing findings through the Chandrayaan-3 propulsion module, Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover will help scientists know more about the Moon and even the formation of our solar system. Both Vikram and Pragyan remained active for 14 lunar days till the lunar night began and ISRO had to put them into sleep mode. Chandrayaan-3 mission was put on pause and now ISRO scientists are hoping to revive the Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover for further research. But will ISRO be able to perform this miracle and awaken them successfully? It will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Know what the expert says about the activation.
Aditya-L1 mission launch: Know all about the tech aboard the ISRO spacecraft
02.09.2023 - 05:41 / tech.hindustantimes.com
After the historic success with the Chandrayaan-3, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is ready to embark on yet another momentous mission, this time to the Sun. The mission, called Aditya-L1, will lift off from launch pad 2 of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota today, September 2. It is India's first space-based observatory-class solar mission which aims to unravel the mysteries of the Sun, such as the cause behind Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), solar flares, solar weather, and more.
To achieve all these objectives, the Aditya-L1 spacecraft is packed with groundbreaking technology and a vast array of sensors that will help carry out various studies of the Sun from the first Lagrange point (L1) of the Sun-Earth system during its almost 5-year mission.
According to ISRO, Aditya-L1 is carrying seven payloads to study the photosphere, chromosphere and coronal layer of the Sun, which will be done using electromagnetic and particle directors. While four of the payloads will be directly facing the Sun, the other three will conduct in-situ analysis from L1 of the solar particles and the solar fields. All the payloads will help scientists develop a greater understanding of the dynamics of solar weather, problems of coronal heating, pre-flare and flare activities, and more.
The seven payloads are - Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC), Solar Ultra-violet Imaging Telescope (SUIT), Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS), High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer (HEL1OS), Aditya Solar wind Particle EXperiment (ASPEX), Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya (PAPA), and Magnetometer (MAG).
1. Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) - This payload, developed jointly by ISRO and the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, will study the behaviour of coronal mass ejections and the solar corona.
2. Solar Ultra-violet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) - The Solar Ultra-violet Imaging Telescope will measure the solar irradiance in the near ultraviolet (UV) by imaging the solar Chromosphere and Photosphere in near UV. SUIT has been developed by ISRO in collaboration with the Inter University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune.
3. Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS) and High Energy L1 Orbiting X-ray Spectrometer (HEL1OS) - The SoLEXS and HEL1OS payloads have been developed at the U R Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru. These payloads will study the X-ray flares emitted by the Sun over a wide range of X-ray energy range.
4. Aditya Solar wind Particle EXperiment (ASPEX) and Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya (PAPA) - ASPEX and PAPA payloads are designed to analyse the solar winds and their energetic ions, as well as their energy distribution. ASPEX was developed at the Physical Research

Surprise! Apple iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max have an ISRO link
In the last few years, Apple has been investing heavily in India. The Cupertino-based tech giant set up a manufacturing plant for its older iPhone models a few years ago, while it also kicked off the production of the latest iPhone 14 model in 2022. Recently, it was revealed that Apple would also make the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models in India, and they would go on sale within 10 days of launch, making it one of the first countries to get its newest flagship iPhone series. Now that the iPhone 15 has been unveiled, its technical specifications reveal that it uses a GPS developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
Aditya L1 update: ISRO now targets September 15 date
Aditya L1 was launched on September 2, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) used the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C57 rocket) for the launch, which carried seven payloads onboard that will be used to study the Sun's environment. ISRO reported that the spacecraft has successfully completed its third manoeuvre and it will go through a total of five phases till it moves towards the Lagrange point 1 (L1). The latest Aditya-L1 update is that ISRO is targeting September 15 as the next date to effect another manoeuvre.
