"The third stage of the separation of PSLV carrying the Aditya-L1 orbiter has been completed," as per ISRO
The ISRO successfully placed a lander on the unexplored lunar South Pole, a feat that put India in the record books as the first country to do so
ESA said it is also the main provider of ground station services for Aditya-L1. ESA stations are supporting the mission from beginning to end, the space agency said
The Indian Space Research Organisation on Saturday launched the Aditya-L1, eyeing history again after its successful lunar expedition, Chandrayaan-3, a few days ago
The successful launch of the maiden solar mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) came on the heels of the historic lunar landing mission - Chandrayaan-3
XPoSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite) is India's first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions
Several experts lauded the successful launch of the mission and its importance for science and humanity
Shaji hails from Tenkasi in Tamil Nadu, about 550 km from state capital Chennai
The lander and rover, 'Vikram' and 'Pragyaan', respectively, were still functioning and "our team with scientific instruments are doing a lot of work now," he said
JAXA, the Japan's space agency, launched its first solar observation satellite, Hinotori (ASTRO-A), in 1981. The objective was to study solar flares using hard X-rays, according to JAXA
"Our tireless scientific efforts will continue in order to develop better understanding of the universe for the welfare of entire humanity," he said on 'X'
Ramesh stated that in 2006 scientists with the Astronomical Society of India and the Indian Academy of Sciences proposed the concept of a solar observatory with a single instrument
Named after the Sun God in Hindu mythology, Aditya-L1 was launched by a 44.4-metre tall Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), India's reliable workhorse in the space sector
"It will observe the Sun in the state of an eclipse all the time. This will be the first mission, which will take a close look at the innermost part of the Sun, the Corona," she added
Aditya-L1 solar mission: India launched its first mission to the Sun this morning, just days after becoming the first country in history to achieve a soft landing on the Moon's south pole
"The data from this mission will help explain various phenomena taking place in the atmosphere and aid climate change studies," G Madhavan Nair added
It will be PSLV's "longest flight" for about 63 minutes
The spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, allowing continuous viewing of the sun without any eclipses or obstructions
Special prayers were also offered at the Doon Yoga Peeth for the successful launch of the maiden solar exploration mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro)
The launch will be live-streamed at BM Birla Planetarium on Saturday in the city, an official said here
