The PSLV C57 (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) rocket carrying the station was launched from the national spaceport on the island of Sriharikota in the Bay of Bengal.
India has successfully launched the automated solar research station Aditya-L1. This is the first large-scale solar research expedition organized by India. The launch was broadcast live by the Indian Space Research Organization on its website.
It is planned to place the spacecraft in a halo orbit in the region of the Lagrange point (point L1) of the Sun-Earth system at a distance of about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. It will take the spacecraft 125 days to reach it.
The PSLV rocket last flew in XL configuration in November 2022, carrying the EOS-06 satellite and eight nanosatellites into Earth orbit.
