  Aditya-L1 is a satellite intended for in-depth research on the Sun. It contains 7 different payloads that were all created locally. Five by ISRO and two by academic institutions working with ISRO in India. Sanskrit refers to the Sun as Aditya. Lagrange Point 1 of the Sun-Earth system is referred to as L1 here. The gravitational forces of two celestial bodies, such as the Sun and Earth, are in balance at L1, according to conventional thought. This makes it possible for an object to stay there reasonably steady in relation to both heavenly bodies. Aditya-L1 stays in Earth-bound orbit for 16 days after its scheduled launch on September 2, 2023, during which time it performs 5 maneuvers to obtain the necessary velocity for its voyage.  Aditya-L1 then performs a Trans-Lagrangian 1 insertion maneuver, starting its 110-day journey to the location around the L1 Lagrange point. Once reached the L1 point, another maneuver locks Aditya-L1 into an orbit around L1, which is the point of equilibri
