- Description
- Aditya-L1 is an active ISRO mission dedicated to comprehensive solar study from the first Sun-Earth Lagrange point. Its observatory spacecraft monitors solar atmospheric dynamics, coronal mass ejections, magnetic fields, and solar-wind conditions without regular Earth occultation.
- Destination
- Halo orbit around the Sun–Earth L1 point approximately 1.5 million km from Earth for continuous solar observation and studies of the solar atmosphere, coronal mass ejections, magnetic fields, and solar wind
- Launch Site
- Outcome
- Successful and operational. Aditya-L1 reached its halo orbit around Sun–Earth L1 in January 2024 and its instruments now provide continuous solar and space-weather observations. SUIT captured the first-ever image of a solar-flare kernel in the lower solar atmosphere, and ISRO reports more than 30 TB of public data plus a third observation cycle in 2026.
