India's first space-based solar mission, Aditya-L1 is set to embark a very important phase of its mission.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has said that the spacecraft will undergo the Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) in the intervening night of Monday.

The TL1 insertion is a send-off from Earth that will be conducted on September 19 at around 2:00 am IST.

This will mark the beginning of its nearly 110-day journey to the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 1 (L1), located approximately 15 lakh kilometers away from Earth.

The spacecraft has successfully completed four Earth-bound maneuvers, with the TL1I marking the start of its journey towards the L1 point.

The L1 point offers an uninterrupted view of the Sun, making it an ideal location for observing solar activities and their impact on space weather. Once Aditya-L1 reaches this point, it will enter a halo orbit and remain there for the duration of its mission. This strategic positioning ensures continuous observation of the Sun, free from any occultation or eclipses.

Super excited to get more information from Aditya L1 about the mysteries of the sun.
