The Aditya-L1 spacecraft has already completed two critical Earth-bound orbital maneuvers as part of its journey. On September 5, it achieved a successful outcome during its second Earth-bound maneuver. Prior to that, on September 3, the spacecraft executed its inaugural Earth-bound maneuver, marking a significant milestone in India's maiden solar mission.

Further steps in the spacecraft's journey involve two additional Earth-bound orbital maneuvers before it transitions into a transfer orbit leading it to the Lagrange point L1. Aditya-L1 is anticipated to reach its intended orbit at the L1 point approximately 127 days from now.

Worth highlighting is that Aditya-L1 holds the distinction of being India's premier space-based observatory dedicated to studying the Sun. It will do so from a halo orbit positioned around the first sun-earth Lagrangian point (L1), located approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. The launch of the Aditya-L1 spacecraft took place on September 2 through ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C57) from the Second Launch Pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota.
