TL;DR Summary

ISRO is set to perform the final manoeuvre to place the Aditya-L1 space probe into a halo orbit at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1), joining four other operational probes in this stable region 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. The operation involves firing thrusters to maintain the spacecraft's position in an area where gravitational forces balance out. Aditya-L1, which carries seven instruments to study the Sun, will require periodic station-keeping manoeuvres due to the natural instability of the L1 point.
