The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Saturday placed Aditya-L1 into its destination orbit Lagrange Point 1. The Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system is about 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth. It is about one per cent of the total distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Launched on September 2 last year, Aditya L1 has undergone four earth-bound manoeuvres and a Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion manoeuvres, all successfully.
The satellite, which will reach its destination orbit on January 6 at 4 pm, will get into the “halo orbit” around Lagrange Point 1 (L1), one of the five spots in the moving Sun-Earth system.
Aditya L1 mission, set to reach its final orbit around the Sun on January 6, marks a groundbreaking achievement in solar exploration. Launched in September, the spacecraft aims to enter a 'halo orbit' at Lagrange Point 1 (L1), enabling unparalleled observation of the Sun. With seven scientific instruments onboard, it promises comprehensive insights into solar phenomena, posing both challenges and opportunities in maintaining its orbit. This mission represents a significant leap in India's space exploration, poised to unlock unprecedented solar insights.
