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.
Aditya L1 mission: Aditya L1 was successfully launched on Sept 2 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun.
The PSLV C57 rocket carrying the Aditya-L1 orbiter, lifted off successfully from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh on September 2.
The images include the first-ever full-disk representations of the Sun in wavelengths ranging from 200 to 400 nm.
Aditya-L1 Mission: The launch of Aditya-L1 by PSLV-C57 rocket was successfully accomplished by ISRO on September 2. Aditya-L1 spacecraft carries a total of seven different payloads to study the Sun.
Chandrayaan-3 made a soft landing on the moon on August 23, scripting history and becoming only the fourth country to do so. India's solar mission Aditya L1 was launched on September 2 this year.
Launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on September 2, 2023, the Aditya-L1 mission aims to provide comprehensive insights into the sun's dynamics and its impact on Earth's climate.
ISRO chief Somanath was conferred an honorary doctorate by Bangalore University, which he dedicated to the teams involved in India's lunar and solar missions.
Aditya-L1 Mission: The launch of Aditya-L1 by PSLV-C57 rocket was successfully accomplished by ISRO on September 2. Aditya-L1 spacecraft carries a total of seven different payloads to study the Sun.
This is the second time in succession that ISRO could send a spacecraft outside the sphere of influence of the Earth, the first time being the Mars Orbiter Mission.
Aditya L1 update: The US Space Agency launched the Parker Solar Probe in 2018 to study the Sun's outer corona. America's Parker Solar Probe was somehow successful in avoiding this solar storm.
India's solar space observatory mission, Aditya-L1, has begun its 110-day journey to L1.
The suits of Aditya L1 payloads are expected to provide the most crucial information to understand the problem of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, pre-flare and flare activities and their characteristics, dynamics of space weather, and propagation of particles and fields.

The spacecraft is now in an orbit of 256 km x 1,21,973 km and the next manoeuvre Trans-Lagragean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) -- a send-off from the Earth -- is scheduled for September 19, 2023.
The manoeuvres are required to be performed during the spacecraft's 16-day journey around the earth, during which it will gain the velocity necessary for its onward journey to L1.
Aditya-L1 is expected to arrive at the intended orbit at the L1 point after about 127 days.
The spacecraft will undergo two more Earth-bound orbital manoeuvres before placing in the transfer orbit towards the Lagrange point L1.
Aditya-L1 launch: As the launch vehicle carrying Aditya L1, the country's maiden solar mission, lifted off successfully from Sriharikota, Annapurni Subramaniam, director, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, said the mission will be first to probe into the innermost part of the Sun- Corona.
