The Aditya L1's PSLV C-57XL rocket and spacecraft is expected to travel about 1.5 million km (930,000 miles) away from Earth from where it will conduct a comprehensive study of the sun.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched India's first solar mission, Aditya L-1 on Saturday from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota island.

The mission control technicians and scores of spectators present at the space centre applauded as the rocket blasted off from an ISRO launchpad on the island of Sriharikota.
Aditya L1 is carrying seven different payloads to have a detailed study of the Sun.
Aditya is one of the words in Hindi which means "sun" and L1 stands for Lagrange Point 1 of the sun-Earth system.
The chief of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) told Indian media that the Aditya L1 is yet another crucial mission and the satellite will take another 125 days (four months) to reach the L1 point from where continuous observation of the Sun will take place.
Several netizens took to social media as they eagerly anticipated another milestone after the success of Chandrayaan 3.
After lift-off, Aditya L1 will stay in Earth-bound orbits for 16 days, during which it will undergo five manoeuvres to gain the necessary velocity for its journey.
The launch of Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun, is scheduled for September 2 - Sputnik India, 1920, 29.08.2023
