The second Earth-bound maneuver of India‘s Aditya-L1, which was launched on Sunday and is the country’s first mission to study the Sun in space, was accomplished.
Lagrangian Point 1 (L1) is 1.5 million kilometers from Earth in the direction of the sun, where the satellite will be positioned in a halo orbit.

Four months are anticipated to pass before the expedition reaches its destination. Aditya-L1 won’t make a landing on the sun or get any closer to it, according to ISRO.
Although data from the mission are anticipated to be available for the next five years, scientists think it may last another 10 or 15 years.
Following India’s Chandrayaan-3 lander module’s successful landing on the South Pole of the moon on August 23, which made it the first nation to do so, this is the second significant mission. After the US, China, and Russia, India became the fourth nation to complete a successful moon landing.
