Stellar triumphs by ISRO in 2023: From Chandrayaan-3 mission to Aditya-L1 mission

India — 1/7 In July 2023, ISRO marked a historic achievement by launching Chandrayaan-3 mission, its third lunar exploration endeavour. On August 23, the spacecraft achieved a groundbreaking soft landing on the Moon's south pole, making India the first nation to achieve this feat. The lunar south pole holds scientific secrets and cosmic mysteries that could provide insights into our planet's ancient history and the potential for lunar colonisation. (ISRO)

The spacecraft embarked on a complex journey towards the Sun, with its final destination being a halo orbit around Lagrange point 1, situated 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. Aditya-L1 aims to study the Sun, unravelling information not only about our solar system's stars but also contributing to our understanding of other stars in the Milky Way galaxy. (ISRO)
