The Indian Space Research Organisation's Aditya-L1 solar observatory has successfully completed a pivotal maneuver, the trans-Lagrangean insertion, pushing it out of Earth's orbit. Launched on September 2, Aditya-L1 is now progressing on a 110-day journey to the L1 Lagrange point about 1.5 million km from Earth. This marks ISRO's fifth straight successful trajectory transfer. Stationing at the stable L1 point will enable continuous solar observations for the mission's goal of unraveling Sun mysteries. The milestone advances India's first dedicated solar mission towards the Sun-Earth Lagrange point to provide an uninterrupted view of the Sun's corona and interior.
