Chandrayaan-3 Mission: ISRO revealed close-up pictures of moon ahead of historic landing attempt

Tech Briefing today: Today was an eventful day in the world of technology. A new leak has surfaced online that has revealed the possible prices for the iPhone 15 series. As per the leaks, the Pro models can witness a price hike. In other news, the official X account of ISRO shared a selfie taken by the camera onboard Aditya-L1 solar mission, which is currently on its way to the Lagrange 1 (L1) point between the Sun and the Earth. This marked a big moment for the space agency as it was also able to test the cameras on the spacecraft. This and more in today's tech briefing. Let us take a look.

In a remarkable feat of space exploration, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced the successful completion of the second Earth-bound manuooevre for the Aditya-L1 spacecraft. This was a critical movement for India's maiden solar mission, designed to uncover the mysteries of the Sun. The next manoeuvre is scheduled for September 10. 

Today, ISRO has achieved another milestone as the Aditya-L1 spacecraft, launched by ISRO on September 2, has successfully completed its first earth-bound maneuver. Along with Chandrayaan-3, Aditya-L1 is proving to be a great success for India in the field of space exploration.

India has sent its first spacecraft to study the Sun. This exciting mission, called Aditya-L1, took off from Sriharikota on a Saturday at 11:50 AM India time (06:20 AM GMT). It's going to travel really far – 1.5 million kilometers (932,000 miles) from Earth. That's only 1% of the distance between Earth and the Sun. It will take four months for Aditya-L1 to reach that far.

India's maiden solar mission successfully lifted off today, September 2 at 11:50 AM IST from the Satish Dhawan Centre in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, named Aditya-L1, has embarked on a 1.5 million-kilometer journey to the Sun, where it will be placed in the halo orbit around the first Lagrange point (L1) of the Sun-Earth system. Interestingly, Aditya-L1 will join four other spacecraft that are already placed in similar orbits - the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), Global Geospace Science (GGS) Wind and the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR).

After the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 lander on the Moon's surface, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has launched its next mission, Aditya-L1 today, September 2, 2023, at 11.50 AM from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR (SDSC-SHAR), Sriharikota. The mission will be carried out from Lagrange point 1 of the Sun-Earth system. The spacecraft's position will give a direct view of the Sun to conduct the successful study. Know what are the objectives of the Aditya-L1 mission.

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.

The day has finally come! Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is prepared to launch the next space-based mission, Aditya-L1 today, September 2, 2023, at 11.50 AM. After a successful moon mission, the space agency is ready to contribute towards the unfolding of the Sun's environment. Recently, in an interview, former ISRO scientist, Tapan Misra said about the mission that studying our Sun's solar flares and the solar wind is essential to understanding how they affect the weather. Know more about the mission's objectives as per ISRO scientist:

Aditya-L1 mission details

India is about to embark on yet another historic journey, this time to the Sun. Just a few days ago, India was in the news as the Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon was successful as it achieved a soft landing on the lunar South Pole, becoming the first in the world to do so. Now, with its solar mission named Aditya-L1, which is set to launch on September 2, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) hopes to unravel the mysteries of the Sun.

Following the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the lunar surface, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is now gearing up for the launch of its maiden solar mission, Aditya-L1. The mission is scheduled for lift-off, tomorrow, September 2. The Aditya-L1 mission will depart from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre located in Sriharikota. Find out when and where to watch the live stream online.

India made history when the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)'s Chandryaan-3 lander made a successful landing on the lunar surface. It was a dream come true for all Indians as the scientists behind the mission have worked for four years to make the mission happen. Now, the very first Indian moon rover, named Pragyaan, is successfully roaming on the south pole to unravel new mysteries of the Moon. Learn more about the Pragyaan rover and its shocking new findings so far.
