The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully completed the third earth-bound manoeuvre for its Aditya L1 spacecraft, which is on a mission to study the Sun. The spacecraft will undergo one more earth-bound manoeuvre on September 15 before being placed in a transfer orbit towards the Lagrange point L1. The Aditya L1 is the first Indian space-based observatory that will study the Sun from a halo orbit around L1, approximately 1.5 million km from Earth. It carries seven scientific payloads developed by ISRO and national research laboratories to observe various aspects of the Sun.
