Aditya L1, India's first space-based mission to study the Sun, got a "send-off" from the Earth as ISRO successfully performed the Trans-Lagrangian 1 Insertion (TL1I) manoeuvre in the early hours of Tuesday (September 19), the space agency said.
According to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the TL1I manoeuvre marks the beginning of Aditya-L1’s 110-day journey towards the L1 Lagrange point, a balanced gravitational location between the Earth and the Sun.
