Isro successfully places Aditya L-1 into halo orbit

India's first dedicated solar mission, Aditya-L1, successfully entered the halo orbit around Lagrange Point 1 (L1) on Saturday, marking a significant milestone for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Lagrangian Point 1 (L1) is a stable point in space where the gravitational forces of two large bodies, such as the Earth and the Sun, balance the centripetal force felt by a smaller object, like a satellite.

It lies along the line connecting the two larger bodies and allows satellites to maintain a relatively constant position.
