Aditya-L1: As India’s First Solar Mission Starts Science Experiments, Know What It Will Study About The Sun

Aditya-L1 is expected to provide important information about the problem of coronal heating, dynamics of space weather, solar flares, and the propagation of particles in the interplanetary medium. 

Aditya-L1, India’s first space-based solar observatory to study the Sun, has started conducting scientific experiments. It exited Earth’s gravitational sphere of influence on September 19, 2023, after successfully performing the Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) manoeuvre, the spacecraft's fifth and final Earth-bound manoeuvre. Aditya-L1 will reach its destination, which is a halo orbit around Lagrange Point 1 (L1), after about 110 days, through a manoeuvre.  Aditya-L1
