India's Aditya L1, the first space-based solar observatory, approaches its final orbit on Saturday in a landmark mission led by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Speaking to HT Digital, former ISRO scientist Manish Purohit detailed the challenges faced during the spacecraft's 127-day journey, emphasizing the precision needed in the upcoming motor firing. Aditya L1's successful placement in the complex halo orbit at the Lagrangian point 1 promises crucial insights into space weather, offering an early warning system for high-energy solar events and bolstering India's space exploration prowess.
