Aditya-L1 Undergoes Trajectory Correction; ISRO Says Spacecraft Healthy

The Indian Space Research Organization informed that the Aditya-L1 spacecraft executed the Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM) on October 6 for approximately 16 seconds, and it is currently travelling to Sun-Earth L1.

The Aditya-L1 spacecraft is "healthy" and "on its way to Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1)," which is around 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. It is carrying out India's first mission to study the Sun.

“It was needed to correct the trajectory evaluated after tracking the Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) manoeuvre performed on September 19, 2023. TCM ensures that the spacecraft is on its intended path towards the Halo orbit insertion around L1,” the ISRO wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
