The spacecraft, which was inserted into orbit on January 6, underwent three station-keeping manoeuvres on February 22, June 7, and July 2 to counteract perturbing forces and ensure its transition into the second halo orbit.
On May 17, 2024, SUIT started taking pictures of Sun and provided important data to ISRO and other scientist around the world. The captured images are important for scientists to analyze the aftermath of the solar storms and the Sun's ongoing activity.
According to ISRO, the resulting geomagnetic storm was the most intense since 2003, causing disruptions to communication and GPS systems.
As the nation celebrated the launch of Aditya-L1 on September 2, 2023, Somnath underwent a routine scan, only to uncover an unexpected growth in his stomach. This unforeseen health setback added a poignant layer to his professional success.
PAPA (Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya) was developed by ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) to support Aditya-L1's mission of studying the Sun's coronal heating processes and solar transients.
ISRO, the world's sixth-largest space agency, has come a long way in exploring its capabilities and in reducing dependency on foreign launch services. Chandrayaan-3 to Aditya-L1 are a few of the many landmark space missions that India has undertaken.
India's Aditya-L1 spacecraft successfully deployed a 6-meter magnetometer boom in space, a critical step for its mission to study the Sun's chromosphere, corona, and interplanetary magnetic field.
The Aditya-L1 was launched into low Earth orbit (LEO) on September 2, 2023, by the Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-XL (PSLV-XL) variant. It reached its Halo orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1) on Saturday evening.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully injected its first-ever Sun mission into its final orbit.
According to ISRO officials, the spacecraft was placed in a halo orbit around Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system. The L1 point is about one per cent of the total distance between the Earth and the Sun.
India's first solar observatory, Aditya L1, has successfully reached its destination at halo orbit. It carries seven payloads to help scientists uncover the secrets of the Sun. The live updates on the ISRO Aditya L1 mission are available now.
Aditya-L1: The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C57) launched the Aditya-L1 spacecraft from the second launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota, on September 2, 2023.

According to S Somanath, the chief of ISRO, "Aditya-L1 will reach its L1 point on January 6th at 4 pm, and we will perform the final manoeuvre to keep it there."
ISRO's Aditya L1 mission was prepared to study the Sun and is all set to create history. On January 6, at around 4 pm, the Aditya L1 satellite will be established at Lagrange 1 point after travelling 15 lakh kilometres from the Earth.
ISRO chief S Somanath says, "It's a unique mission as X-ray Polarimetry is a unique scientific capability we have developed internally building instruments. We want to create 100 scientists who can understand this aspect and then contribute to the knowledge of black holes to the world."
The spacecraft has been designed for the comprehensive study of the Sun, and it was launched on September 2 (2023), via the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C57).
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans for the spacecraft to enter a halo orbit around L1, approximately 1.5 million km from the Earth, and focus on the Sun. Here are the key details about the mission and its objectives.
As Aditya L1 has been approaching its target, the ISRO team remains vigilant, which will be prepared to navigate the complexities of space travel. The success of this insertion not only signifies ISRO's capabilities but it promises new insights into solar mysteries and their impact on space weather.
ISRO's space achievements: Chandrayaan-3 successfully soft-landed on Moon’s south pole on August 23. India became 1st country to softly land a spacecraft on lunar south pole, and 4th country to achieve a soft landing on Moon, after US, the Soviet Union, and China.
