India Launches First Mission to Study the Sun!
#India launched its first space mission to study the #sun, less than two weeks after a successful uncrewed landing near the south pole region of the moon.
The rocket blasted off shortly before noon on Saturday from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre în Sriharikota, in southern India, for a 1.5 million-kilometer, four-month journey toward the sun.
"Mission accomplished," the India Space Research
Organization's control room announced as the
spacecraft hurtled into the Earth's upper atmosphere.
Scientists clapped and shook hands while thousands, including school children standing in a viewing gallery, cheered. Tens of thousands more watched live broadcasts of the rocket's liftoff on ISRO's website and on television.
The mission to study the sun's outer layer is named Aditya L1, after the Hindu god of the sun, who is sometimes known as Aditya. If all goes according to plan, India will join a select group of countries that are studying the sun.
The U.S. space agency, NASA, and the European Space Agency have sent probes into the solar orbit since the 1990s.
