India Made History today by launching it's Solar Mission Aditya L1.

In this mission, the spacecraft will be placed in the orbit of the Sun-Earth system. -- It will be placed in a halo orbit around Lagrangian Point 1 (L1) - 1.5 million km from the Earth in the direction of the Sun. It will revolve around the Sun and observe solar activities and their effect on space weather real-time.

The major objectives of the mission include understanding the Coronal Heating and Solar Wind Acceleration, the initiation of Coronal Mass Ejection, and near-earth space weather and the solar wind distribution.

The PSLV-XL variant rocket carries the 1,480.7 kg Aditya-L1 spacecraft as its sole passenger that will study the solar activities. The 44.4 metre tall PSLV-C57 rocket with a lift off mass of 321 ton carrying Aditya-L1 -- named after the Sun God in Hindu mythology -- blasted off from the second launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) here at 11.50 a.m.

It will be interesting to see what all India will witness in this mission.
