ISRO’s Aditya-L1 Solar Mission Performs TL1I Manoeuvre, on Track to Reach Sun-Earth L1 Point

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Tuesday announced that its maiden solar mission Aditya-L1 has successfully performed a Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) maneuver and the spacecraft is currently on its way to the Sun – Earth’s L1 point. ISRO also stated that this marks the fifth consecutive time that ISRO has successfully transferred an object in orbit to another celestial body or another location in space.

An official ISRO post on social media platform It is in an orbit heading towards the Sun-Earth point L1. After about 110 days, it will be maneuvered into orbit around L1.
