India's first dedicated solar space observatory, Aditya-L1, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is positioned in a halo orbit around which specific equilibrium point in the Sun-Earth system?

  1. Lagrangian Point 1 (L1)Cevap
  2. B
    Lagrangian Point 2 (L2)
  3. C
    Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
  4. D
    Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO)

Cevap

Lagrangian Point 1 (L1)
The correct option correctly identifies Lagrangian Point 1 (L1). Placing Aditya-L1 in a halo orbit around L1 provides the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation or eclipses.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the main scientific objective and destination of ISRO's solar observatory mission.
The mission is Aditya-L1, designed to study the Sun's atmosphere, corona, and solar wind.
The name of the mission reflects its planned orbital destination.
2
Determine the strategic orbital location in the Sun-Earth system.
It is positioned in a halo orbit around Lagrangian Point 1 (L1), about 1.5 million km from Earth.
L1 provides an unobstructed view of the Sun without any occultation or eclipse events.
