Aditya L1 spacecraft, India's first space-based mission to study the Sun, got a "send-off" from the Earth after orbiting it since its September 2 launch as it underwent a key manoeuvre in the early hours of Tuesday, ISRO said.

The Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion manoeuvre marks the beginning of the spacecrafts 110-day trajectory to the destination around the L1 Lagrange point.

Aditya L1 spacecraft, India's first space-based mission to study the Sun, during the early hours on Friday, underwent the fourth earth-bound manoeuvre successfully, ISRO said.

With the completion of four earth-bound orbital manoeuvres, the spacecraft will next undergo a Trans-Lagrangian1 insertion manoeuvre, marking the beginning of its nearly 110-day trajectory to the destination around the L1 Lagrange point

Aditya-L1 is the first Indian space-based observatory to study the Sun from a halo orbit around the first Sun-Earth Lagrangian point (L1), which is located roughly 1.5 million km from the Earth.

Indias Aditya L1 spacecraft, the countrys first space-based mission to study the Sun, has successfully completed its fourth earth-bound manoeuvre, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The spacecraft is currently in a 16-day journey around the Earth, gaining the necessary velocity for its further journey to the L1 Lagrange point. Once it reaches its destination, Aditya-L1 will continuously observe the Sun without any occultation or eclipses, providing real-time information ...

Indias Aditya-L1 mission successfully performs fourth earth-bound manoeuvre, reaches new orbit of 256 km x 121973 km.

Aditya L1 spacecraft, Indias first space-based mission to study the Sun, during the early hours on Friday, underwent the fourth earth-bound manoeuvre successfully, ISRO said.

Aditya L1 Update: The new orbit attained is 256 km x 121973 km, it said: "The next manoeuvre Trans-Lagragean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) -- a send-off from the Earth -- is scheduled for September 19, around 02:00 Hrs.

The next critical step, the Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion (TL1I), which serves as a send-off from Earth, is scheduled for September 19 at approximately 02:00 Hrs. IST.
