Aditya-L1 completes first halo orbit at Lagrange Point 1 in 178 days

The Aditya-L1 spacecraft has successfully completed its first halo orbit at Lagrange Point 1, approximately 1.5 million km from Earth. The Aditya-L1 spacecraft took 178 days to complete one revolution around the L1 point in its halo orbit. On July 2, 2024, the Aditya-L1 spacecraft successfully completed its third station-keeping manoeuvre, ensuring that it continues its travel in the second halo orbit path around L1. The successful completion of Aditya-L1's first halo orbit is a demonstration to India's growing capabilities in complex space missions and interplanetary exploration.
