The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced that Aditya-L1 has completed its first orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point 1. The spacecraft, launched to study the Sun's upper atmosphere, achieved this after three station-keeping maneuvers on February 22, June 7, and July 2. These adjustments ensured the spacecraft remained on course. ISRO used advanced flight dynamics software for precise navigation. Aditya-L1 aims to investigate solar phenomena like coronal mass ejections and flares, and study the Sun's chromosphere and corona.
