India is unstoppable, and the scientists of the country are leaving no stone unturned in its space exploration.

After having a touchdown on the moon, we're all ready for the Sun Mission.

The Indian Space Research Organisation has also announced that its first solar mission, Aditya-L1, will be launched on September 2 at 11:50 am from the Sriharikota space centre.

According to ISRO, Aditya-L1 will observe the solar corona from a remote location at the Sun-Earth Lagrange point L1, which is about 1.5 million kilometres from Earth.

"A satellite placed in the halo orbit around the L1 point has the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation/eclipses. This will provide a greater advantage of observing solar activities and their effect on space weather in real-time," says ISRO.

The solar mission will be an unique mission in itself which will be carried out by the Aditya-L1, which will be launched from the Sriharikota spaceport on the Isro’s workhorse rocket, the PSLV, or polar satellite launch vehicle. After travelling 125 days to reach a distance of 1.5 million km from the Earth, it will stay put for an as yet unannounced duration of time.
