The Aditya-L1 mission will take around 109 Earth days after launch to reach the halo orbit around the L1 point, which is about 1,500,000 km from Earth. The planned mission duration is 5.2 years from the date of launch.
What is point L1?
Ans: L1 or Lagrange Point 1 is one of the 5 points located between the sun and the earth where the gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals the centripetal force required for a small object to move with them. They have been named after the Italian-French mathematician Josephy-Louis Lagrange. WIND and SOHO are other spacecraft positioned at L1 point. The L1 point of the Earth-Sun system affords an uninterrupted view of the sun.
