Till now, the Aditya L1 mission, India's first solar mission, has been making good progress, and the mission is going successfully.

Aditya-L1 spacecraft has now moved out of Earth’s orbit into a trajectory across interplanetary space towards its solar observation post about 1.5 million km from Earth.

"Off to Sun-Earth L1 point! The Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) maneuvre is performed successfully," Indian Space Research Organisation said.

"The spacecraft is now on a trajectory that will take it to the Sun-Earth L1 point. It will be injected into an orbit around L1 through a maneuver after about 110 days."

"This is the fifth consecutive time ISRO has successfully transferred an object on a trajectory toward another celestial body or location in space, ISRO added.

Now the spacecraft is nearing the help orbit around the first Sun-Earth lagrangian point (L1), located roughly 1.5 million km from Earth, which is about one per cent of the Earth-Sun distance.

The Sun is a giant sphere of gas, and Aditya-L1 would study the outer atmosphere of the Sun. It will neither land on the Sun nor approach the Sun any closer.

Upon arrival at the L1 point, another manoeuvre binds Aditya-L1 to an orbit around L1.

The satellite spends its whole mission life orbiting around L1 in an irregularly shaped orbit in a plane roughly perpendicular to the line joining the Earth and the Sun.

Aditya-L1 is expected to arrive at the intended orbit at the L1 point after about 127 days, ISRO had said soon after the launch.
