Former Indian Space Research Organisation chairman G Madhavan Nair on Saturday said data from Aditya-L1, the country`s first solar mission, will help explain various celestial phenomena taking place in the atmosphere and aid climate change studies.
Speaking to ANI ahead of the launch at 11.50 am on Saturday, Nair said, "This mission is very important. Aditya L-1 will be placed around Lagrangian Point 1, where the gravitational force of Earth and the Sun is virtually nullified, and with minimum fuel, we can park the spacecraft there. It will also enable 24/7 observation of the Sun. Seven payloads or instruments have been included on board the spacecraft."
