<p>India&rsquo;s first solar mission Aditya-L1 spacecraft completed its first halo orbit around the Sun-Earth L1 point on Tuesday, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/isro-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>ISRO</strong></a> said.</p>
<p>The space agency said its station-keeping manoeuvre on Tuesday ensured its seamless transition into the second halo orbit.</p>
<p>The Aditya-L1 mission, which is an Indian solar observatory at Lagrangian point L1, was launched on September 2, 2023 and was inserted in its targeted halo orbit on January 6, 2024.</p>
<p>According to ISRO, Aditya-L1 spacecraft in the halo orbit takes 178 days to complete a revolution around the L1 point.</p>
<p>During its travel in the halo orbit, Aditya-L1 spacecraft will be subjected to various perturbing forces that will cause it to depart from the targeted orbit, the space agency said.</p>
<p>"Aditya-L1 underwent two station-keeping manoeuvres on February 22 and June 7, respectively, to maintain this orbit. Today's third station-keeping manoeuvre has ensured that its travel continued in the second halo orbit path around L1,&rdquo; ISRO said.</p>
<p>The agency explained that Aditya L1's journey around Sun-Earth L1 Lagrangian point involves modeling of complex dynamics.</p>
<p>The understanding of various perturbing forces acting on the spacecraft helped in determining the trajectory accurately and planning precise orbit manoeuvres, it added.</p>
<p>"With today's manoeuvre, the state-of-the-art flight dynamics software developed in-house at URSC-ISRO for the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/isro-chairman-s-somnath-announces-aditya-l1-solar-mission-s-key-insertion-date-23326482" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Aditya-L1</strong></a> missions stands fully validated," ISRO said.&nbsp;</p>
