Consider the following statements
Aditya L1 is the first space-based Indian mission to study the Sun.
The spacecraft shall be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system.
Lagrange points are specific locations in space where the gravitational forces of two large bodies produce enhanced regions of gravitational equilibrium.
How many of the following statements are incorrect?
Only One
Only Two
All Three
None of the above
All statements are correct.
India’s first solar mission, Aditya-L1, has recently reached the spaceport in Sriharikota.
It will be launched by the PSLV-XL launch vehicle.
The spacecraft shall be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million km from the 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 in observing solar activities and their effect on space weather in real-time.
Lagrangian points, also known as Lagrange points or libration points, are specific locations in space where the gravitational forces of two large bodies, such as a planet and its moon or a planet and the Sun, produce enhanced regions of gravitational equilibrium.
In these points, the gravitational pull from the two bodies creates a stable or quasi-stable region where a third, smaller object can maintain a relatively constant position relative to the larger bodies.
There are five primary Lagrangian points, labeled L1 through L5, in a Sun-Earth system.
Hence option 4th is correct.
