00:00 India's Aditya L1 spacecraft has captured stunning images of Earth and the Moon from
00:26 space as it loops around the planet ahead of leaving for its destination Lagrange Point
00:32 1.
00:33 It also shared a selfie.
00:37 The images were shared by the Indian Space Research Organisation on Twitter along with
00:41 a selfie that Aditya L1 had clicked.
00:44 Aditya L1, destined for the Sun, Earth, L1 point, takes a selfie and images of the Earth
00:50 and the Moon, the Bengaluru-headquartered National Space Agency said on X.
00:55 The images show VELC i.e. Visible Emission Line Coronagraph and SUIT i.e. Solar Ultraviolet
01:02 Imager instruments as seen by the camera on board Aditya L1 on September 4, 2023.
01:07 These images will provide valuable insights into the properties of the Sun and contribute
01:34 to our understanding of solar astrophysics.
01:37 The recent images of Earth and the Moon captured by Aditya L1 have sparked excitement among
01:42 scientists and space enthusiasts alike.
01:45 As the spacecraft continues its journey towards the L1 point, it is expected to provide more
01:50 captivating images and valuable data, marking a new chapter in India's space exploration
01:55 history.
01:56 The Aditya L1 mission lifted off from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on September 2.
02:01 The spacecraft has already completed two Earth-bound orbital manoeuvres and will perform two more
02:06 before placing it in the transfer orbit towards the Lagrange point L1.
02:10 Aditya L1 is expected to arrive at the intended orbit at the L1 point after 125 days.
02:16 The solar probe is helping ISRO notch up its second feat in less than a month after the
02:21 country beat others to the lunar South Pole in late August.
02:25 The spacecraft carries seven payloads designed to observe various aspects of the Sun, including
02:30 its photosphere, chromosphere and corona.
02:33 It will also measure the variation in magnetic field strength at the hallow orbit around
02:37 L1.
02:38 The Aditya L1 mission aims to deepen our understanding of solar eruptive events and their impact
02:43 on space weather.
02:44 The spacecraft will be placed in a hallow orbit around the Lagrange point L1, approximately
02:49 1.5 million km from Earth in the direction of the Sun.
02:53 This strategic position will allow the spacecraft to continuously observe the Sun without interruption
02:57 from eclipses or oculation, providing real-time data on solar activities.
03:03 India's other ongoing projects include a human spacecraft program that aims to launch
03:07 astronauts into orbit for the first time possibly by 2025, ISRO Chairman S Somnath said.
