The spacecraft will orbit a point between the Earth and the Sun, where the gravitational forces are balanced.

Hari Tulsidas<p>India has launched a spacecraft to study the Sun, becoming the first Asian country to do so. The spacecraft, named Aditya-L1, will orbit around a point between the Earth and the Sun, where the gravitational forces are balanced. The mission aims to understand the Sun’s dynamics, such as its magnetic field, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections, which can affect the Earth’s climate and communication systems. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/AdityaL1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdityaL1</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/SunMission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SunMission</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/IndiaSpace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndiaSpace</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/after-successful-moon-landing-india-launches-a-spacecraft-to-study-the-sun?utm_source=flipboard&amp;utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pbs.org/newshour/science/after</span><span class="invisible">-successful-moon-landing-india-launches-a-spacecraft-to-study-the-sun?utm_source=flipboard&amp;utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes</span></a></p>

AkaSci 🛰️<p>Objects cannot be placed exactly at L1 as they will drift off after any minor deviations. Hence, they are stationed in orbits around the L1 point, which are more stable, but still require periodic (monthly) small adjustments.</p><p>The math to compute Halo/Lissajous orbits is much more complex.</p><p>Similar calculations/constraints apply to the L2 Lagrange point.</p><p>The graphic below shows the exotic orbits around L2 of a few space telescopes.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_orbit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_orb</span><span class="invisible">it</span></a><br><a href="https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2023/07/Webb_and_Gaia_welcome_Euclid_to_L2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/</span><span class="invisible">2023/07/Webb_and_Gaia_welcome_Euclid_to_L2</span></a><br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AdityaL1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdityaL1</span></a><br>7/n</p>

AkaSci 🛰️<p>Here is a simple approx. method to compute the distance between L1 and Earth.</p><p>Let’s assume circular orbits.</p><p>At L1, the centrifugal force due the object's orbital motion must balance out the gravitational forces of Earth and the Sun.<br>i.e., Fsun = Fearth + Fc</p><p>Using the notations from the diagram, we have<br>Fsun = G * Ms * m / (R - r)^2 (Newton’s equation, G is the Gravitational constant)<br>Fearth = G * Me * m / r^2<br>Fc = m * ω^2 * (R - r) (ω (omega) is the angular speed in radians/s)</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AdityaL1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdityaL1</span></a><br>5/n</p>
AkaSci 🛰️<p>How can an object at L1 orbit around the Sun at the same period as Earth (365.25 days)?</p><p>It is well-known that objects closer to the sun have a smaller period. E.g., Venus has an orbital period of 225 days and Mercury 88 days.</p><p>But at L1, the object is under the influence of gravity from both the Sun and the Earth. The net gravitational force towards the Sun is smaller and hence the object can orbit at a lower angular speed and a lower centrifugal force.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AdityaL1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdityaL1</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LagrangeL1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LagrangeL1</span></a><br>4/n</p>
