The probe, which bears the same name as the Hindu sun goddess, has traveled a distance of 920,000 kilometers since its takeoff, more than half the way to its destination. Announcement: The Indian Space Agency announced on Saturday evening that the Indian probe launched towards the solar system to study the sun had left the field of influence of Earth’s gravity. The Aditya-L1 mission, which means “sun” in Hindi, was launched on September 2 on a four-month journey. It carries scientific tools to monitor the outer layers of the solar system. The Indian Space Research Organization said in a statement that “the probe left the field of influence of Earth’s gravity.” The probe, which bears the same name as the Hindu sun goddess, has traveled a distance of 920,000 kilometers since its take-off, i.e. more than half the way to reaching… Its destination. At this point, the gravitational forces of the Earth and the Sun cancel each other out, allowing the probe to remain in a stable orbit. The organization added, “This is the second time in a row that the Indian Space Research Organization has sent a spacecraft outside the field of influence of Earth’s gravity, and the first was an important one.” “Mars Orbiter” in 2013-2014. Both Japan and China launched their own solar monitoring missions, but in Earth’s orbit. If the Indian organization’s new mission is successful, the probe will be the first to be placed in orbit around the sun by an Asian country. The United States has put The United States and the European Space Agency have orbited vehicles to study the Sun, starting with NASA’s Pioneer program in the 1960s. To India,” noting that the vehicle intends to study coronal mass emission, a periodic phenomenon that leads to massive discharges of plasma and magnetic energy coming from the sun’s atmosphere. Waadfi Space Program August 23 India became the first country to succeed in landing an unmanned spacecraft, Chandrayaan. -3, near the lunar south pole, which is largely unexplored so far, and the fourth to carry out a controlled landing on the lunar surface, joining this narrow club. Before that, only the United States, the Soviet Union, and China were the countries that were able to carry out such a The operation was successful. The Pragyan spacecraft, a six-wheeled vehicle powered by solar energy, carried out a scientific mission to the south pole of the moon before stopping operation for the duration of the lunar night, that is, regarding two weeks. The Indian Space Research Organization intends to extend the mission of its mobile robot by returning It was activated as soon as light returned to the surface of the moon, but this machine has not yet responded. The head of the Indian Space Research Organization, S. Sumanath said on Wednesday, “There is no problem with the machine not responding, because the vehicle did what was expected of it.” The Indian space program was built on a relatively low budget that was increased following the failure of a first attempt to put a probe in orbit around the moon in 2008. Experts believe that India is able to keep Its space program costs are low by copying existing technology and modifying it as necessary, and thanks to a boom in skilled engineers who receive lower salaries than their foreign counterparts. India is scheduled to launch a three-day manned mission into Earth’s orbit next year. It intends to undertake a joint mission with Japan to send a second probe to the moon by 2025, and a mission to the orbit of Venus within the next two years. Additional sources • AFP
