ISRO has stated in a post on the social media platform X that it will take about 110 days for Adity Spacekraft to reach its destination. The Lagrangeian point is a place between the Sun and the Earth in our solar system where the gravity force is balanced. With this, any satellite can be stopped there.
In the post on X, ISRO wrote, “Surya-Earth L1 Point is now on a trajectory path, which will take it to the Sun-Earth L1 point. It will be installed in an oorbit around L1 after a process after about 110 days.”
Aditya-l1 mission:
Off to Sun-Earth L1 Point!The trans-legrangean point 1 insertion (TL1I) Maneuvre is performed successful.
The spacecraft is now a trajectory that will take it to the Sun-Earth L1 Point. It will be injected into an orbit Around l1 through a Maneuver… pic.twitter.com/h7gooy0r44i

ISRO has also stated that this is the fifth consecutive time, when the Indian Space Agency has transferred something with some other success in the space. Aditya Spacecraft is carrying out India’s first Space Based Observatory, which will stay in the Lagrangeian Point (L-1) and will stop the outer environment of the Sun.
The Aditya Spacecraft was launched from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on the 2th of this month. All the instruments installed in it are scavengers and will study the Sun. Because of these, India will be able to know the real time of activities happening in the sun. ISRO is expected to get important data related to the Sun from the Aditya Observatory and will get new information about solar activities.
