"India's Aditya-L1 Solar Observatory Successfully Positioned 1 Million Miles from Earth"
India's Aditya-L1 solar observatory has successfully performed a trajectory correction maneuver to ensure it reaches its intended destination, a gravitationally stable area known as Earth-sun Lagrange point 1, around 1 million miles from Earth. The spacecraft, carrying seven payloads, will have an uninterrupted view of the sun from this location for its five-year mission to study the sun. This marks India's second spacecraft to venture beyond Earth's sphere of influence, following the Mars Orbiter Mission in 2013.
