<h5>What is the name of ISRO’s upcoming space mission?</h5><p>With the success of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/chandrayaan-3-what-s-next-for-it">Chandrayaan-3</a> mission, many have been asking about ISRO’s upcoming space missions. One such mission is the Aditya-L1 space mission. Aditya L1 is India’s first mission to study the Sun. This spacecraft will be placed in an orbit around the Sun-Earth system's Lagrange point 1 (L1), around 1.5 million kilometres from Earth.</p><p>Placing a spacecraft in this orbit has an advantage. It can be used to monitor the Sun without any eclipses. This will give scientists a better chance of seeing solar activity and its impact on space weather.</p><h5>What are some objectives of this mission?</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/isro-headed-to-the-sun-this-week%2FAditya%20L1%20ISRO.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=d6ed4d4a-a643-4c73-a973-709edecd80a8"><figcaption>The trajectory of the Aditya-L1 mission.

It will also study the Sun’s plasma, the start of coronal mass ejections, and flares. The spacecraft will also help analyse the physics related to the solar corona and its heating mechanism.</p><p>Basically, the mission will help get a deeper understanding of the Sun. The spacecraft will be carrying seven payloads. Four will directly monitor the Sun, while the remaining three will conduct various research. This research will help the scientists study the Sun.</p><h5>When will the Aditya-L1 spacecraft be launched?</h5><p>The Aditya-L1 will be launched using ISRO’s PSLV XL rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The launch will take place on 2nd September 2023. The spacecraft will first be placed in low-Earth orbit. Then, it will move towards the L1 point.</p><p>After its launch, the spacecraft will take four months to reach the L1 point.</p>

After acing their Moon mission, ISRO is ready to go to the Sun.
