In a post on the social media platform ‘X’, ISRO has written that Aditya-L1 is scheduled for the L1 point of Sun-Earth. It has taken a selfie and captured the images of the Earth and Moon. ISRO has shared a video of 26 seconds, in which Aditya’s selfie and moon and moon can be seen. Selfie and image were taken on 4 September.
The class of Aditya L-1 was changed exactly one after that. Currently, the minimum distance from the earth of Aditya is 282 km and the maximum distance is 40 thousand 225 km. The new change in the class of ‘Aditya El1’ will be made on 10 September 2023 at around 2.30 pm.

The country’s first space based observator ‘Aditya El1’ will stay in the Sun-Earth Lagrangeian point (L-1), about 1.5 million kilometers from the Earth and will study the external environment of the Sun. On the same month, ‘Aditya El1’ was successfully launched from the second launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The first change in the orbit of the satellite was made on 3 September. It is yet to undergo many processes. The big turning point for the mission will have to be transported close to the Sun.
The L1 point at which it will go is just 1 percent of the total distance of the Sun and Earth. This is a place from where the sun can be monitored every moment.
