India'sAditya-L1SolarMission SuccessfullyLaunched:ANew Dawnin SolarExploration Inabigsteptowardsunderstandingoursolarsystem,theIndian SpaceResearchOrganisation(ISRO)haslauncheda specialmission calledAditya-L1.ThismissionisallaboutstudyingtheSun,our closeststar.ItwillgiveusimportantinformationabouttheSunand howitaffectsspaceweather,technology,andplanetEarth. TheJourneyBegins Aditya-L1'sjourneybeganat11:50a.m.fromSriharikotausinga reliablerocketcalledPSLV-C57.ThismissioncomesafterISRO's recentsuccesswithChandrayaan-3,showingIndia'sexpertiseinspace exploration. OnFriday,ISROstartedacountdownof23hoursand40minutesfor Aditya-L1'slaunch.Ithappenedat11:50a.m.fromtheSatishDhawanSpaceCentreinSriharikota.About63minuteslater,the satelliteseparatedfromtherocketandenteredanorbitaroundEarth, whichisunusual.
