Companies & Collaborators in Aditya L-1: After the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO successfully launched its first solar mission named Aditya L1 on September 2nd. The glorious chapter added to ISRO’s space expedition will provide crucial information on coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, pre-flare and flare activities and their characteristics, dynamics of space weather, propagation of particles and fields etc.
Who Is Dr. Sankarasubramanian K. Named Principal Scientist of ISRO’s Aditya-L1 mission?
What is the Budget of the Aditya L-1 Mission?
The 2008-conceived Aditya Mission was repeatedly delayed due to a lack of funding. Initial plans for the mission in FY17 were for a modest, 400-kilogram low-Earth orbiting satellite to be used as an experimental project with a Rs 3 crore budget for studying the solar corona. However, the price of the solar mission, minus launch costs, is Rs. 378.53 crore. The budget includes all research, development, and testing phases as well as the high-end equipment and expertise required for investigating the Sun’s corona. This expenditure demonstrates India’s dedication to developing its space capabilities and making a positive impact on world science.
When and How much time will Aditya L1 take to reach Sun?

Who Is Dr. Sankarasubramanian K. Named Principal Scientist of ISRO’s Aditya-L1 mission?
Aditya L1 is the first Indian solar mission of its class to be launched into space. The spacecraft will be positioned in a halo orbit 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, at the Lagrangian point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system. Seven scientific payloads are on board the spacecraft to conduct in-depth research on the Sun. Each payload is designed locally in association with different ISRO Centers and Scientific Institutes.
