The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced that its Aditya-L1 spacecraft has surpassed Earth's influence, advancing towards the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1) at a distance of over 9.2 lakh kilometers from Earth. This achievement, the second of its kind after the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan), signifies a major milestone. Launched on September 2 via PSLV-C57.1, Aditya-L1's mission involves studying the Sun's physics, corona, solar wind, and space weather impact on Earth, positioning itself in a halo orbit around L1 approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth in the direction of the Sun.
