Aditya-L1 Mission: This is the date that India’s maiden Sun mission will reach its destination

Aditya- L1 mission, India’s first Sun project, is expected to reach the L1 point in 2024. Know what the ISRO chief revealed.

India is waiting with bated breath for more good news from ISRO about the amazing Aditya-L1 mission that is bound for a parking spot from where it can watch the Sun continuously. ISRO's Aditya-L1 spacecraft, is set to reach the Lagrange Point 1 (L1) by mid-January, 2024, said ISRO Chief S Somanath, according to a report by ANI. This mission aims to study the sun comprehensively and will be placed in a halo orbit around L1, which is located approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth in the direction of the sun. (ISRO)

Future ISRO Launch Plans:ISRO has a busy schedule in the coming months, as mentioned by Somanath. After Aditya-L1 mission, it includes several planned launches, such as GSLV, SSLV, the Gaganyaan unmanned mission, and a PSLV launch before January. These launches underline ISRO's commitment to advancing space exploration and research. Thereafter, ISRO has also been given the job of hoisting into orbit the Indian Space Station.
