It will help observe solar activities and their effects in real time IN its maiden solar mission, ISRO successfully placed Aditya-L1 spacecraft into its final orbit on Saturday at 4 pm. The insertion of Aditya-L1 in the halo orbit presented a critical mission phase, which demanded precise navigation and control. A successful insertion further involved constant monitoring along with the adjustment of the spacecraft’s speed and position by using onboard thrusters. “The success of this insertion not only signifies ISRO’s capabilities in such complex orbital manoeuvres, but also gives confidence to handle future interplanetary missions,” ISRO said. The satellite placed in the orbit of the SunEarth system, which is about 1.5 million kms from Earth, has covered only 1 per cent of the distance to the Sun. It will be undertaking several studies on the impact of the Sun’s radiation, solar flares, solar storms and other particles on the Earth through payloads. Hyderabad Formula E-Prix cancelled S B A C H A N J E E T S I N G H @ Hyderabad THE Formula E-Prix slated to take place in Hyderabad on February 10 has been cancelled. The cancellation was confirmed by Formula E Operations (FEO) which said that the Municipal Administration and Urban Development department (MAUD) failed to fulfil the Host City Agreement signed on October 30, 2023. FEO expressed its disappointment in a statement, stating, “FEO has been left with no choice other than to formally give notice to MAUD that it is in breach of contract. FEO is considering its position and what steps it may take under the Host City Agreement and applicable laws. All of FEO’s rights in that regard are reserved.” The Hyderabad E-Prix was a major event, marking the only official FIA World Championship event in India for 2024. It was part of a multi-year agreement between Formula E and the Telangana government. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship calendar for Season 10 includes other iconic cities like Tokyo, Shanghai, Berlin, Monaco and London. The news drew a sharp rebuke from former MAUD minister KT Rama Rao, who condemned it as “truly a poor and regressive decision”. However, TPCC senior vice president G Niranjan lashed out at Rama Rao, describing his criticism as “foolish”. “The fact is that the people of the twin cities are happy that the state government did not give permission for the E Prix as last year, motorists faced innumerable problems as traffic went haywire due to the race. The BRS government ignored the people and took a foolish decision on the race,” Niranjan said. Expressing his disappointment, Formula E co-founder Alberto Longo said, “We are extremely disappointed for the huge motorsport fanbase in India. Federation of MotorSports Clubs of India president Akbar Ebrahim and his team, played a key role in bringing Formula E to HyderaCONTINUED ON P5 bad.”
