BELAGAVI: ISRO chairman Kiran Kumar revealed that the scientific mission of launching Aditya-L1 satellite for solar studies is underway.
He was delivering keynote address at the 15th annual convocation of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) at Jnana Sangama campus of the university here on Friday. The major scientific objectives of the mission are studying solar corona, achieving fundamental understanding of the physical processes that heat the solar corona, accelerating solar wind and producing coronal mass ejections.
In order to get the best science from the sun, continuous viewing of the sun is preferred without any occultation/ eclipses and hence, Aditya- L1 satellite will be placed in the halo orbit around the Lagrangian point 1 (L1) of the sun-earth system, Kiran Kumar said.
Governor Vajubhai Vala, acting vice-chancellor V Shridhar, registrar HN Jagannatha Reddy, registrar (evaluation) HG Shekharappa, syndicate members and members of executive council were present.
