Aditya L1 shall be the first space based Indian mission to study the Sun. The spacecraft shall be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million km from the Earth.
Aditya-L1 (Sanskrit: Āditya IPA: [aːd̪it̪jɐ] 'Sun', L1 'Lagrange Point 1') is a coronagraphy spacecraft for studying the solar atmosphere, designed and developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and various other Indian Space Research Institutes.
Sep 1, 2023 · Aditya-L1 is a satellite dedicated to the comprehensive study of the Sun. It has 7 distinct payloads developed, all developed indigenously. Five by ISRO and two by Indian academic institutes in collaboration with ISRO. Aditya in Sanskrit means the Sun. L1 here refers to Lagrange Point 1 of the Sun-Earth system.

Sep 5, 2023 · Aditya-L1 is the first space based observatory class Indian solar mission to study the Sun from a substantial distance of 1.5 million kilometers. It will take approximately 125 days to reach the L1 point. Aditya-L1 is also ISRO’s second astronomy observatory-class mission after AstroSat (2015).
Sep 2, 2023 · India launched its first dedicated solar probe early Saturday morning (Sept. 2), sending the Aditya-L1 spacecraft skyward to tackle some big sun mysteries.
Jan 8, 2024 · The spacecraft Aditya-L1 had been travelling towards the Sun for four months since lift-off on September 2, 2023. It reached its destination on January 6, 2024. After lift-off, the spacecraft went four times around the Earth before escaping the sphere of Earth’s influence on September 30. L1 stands for Lagrange point 1 — the place between the Sun and Earth where the spacecraft has now reached. A Lagrange point is a spot where the gravitational forces of two large objects — such as the ...
