ISRO Performs Trajectory Correction Maneuver for Aditya-L1 Solar Mission
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has executed a trajectory correction maneuver (TCM) for the Aditya-L1 spacecraft, which is en route to the Lagrangian 1 (L1) point. ISRO confirmed the TCM, conducted on October 6, 2023, to ensure the spacecraft's intended path towards the Halo orbit insertion around L1.
This correction was deemed necessary after evaluating the trajectory following the Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) maneuver performed on September 19, 2023. Aditya-L1, India's first solar observatory mission, began its 110-day journey toward the L1 point after the TL1I maneuver on September 19.
Aditya-L1's mission aims to study the sun's outermost layer and the impact of solar activities on Earth's climate. The spacecraft is currently healthy and expected to reach the L1 point, located approximately 1.5 million km from Earth, by January 2024. The magnetometer payload, designed to measure interplanetary magnetic fields at the L1 point, will be activated in the coming days.
