Lagrangian
ISRO's Aditya-L1 is India's first solar observatory mission. It is positioned in a halo orbit around the L1 Lagrangian point — one of five gravitationally balanced points (Lagrange points) in the Sun-Earth system, located about 1.5 million km from Earth. From this vantage point, Aditya-L1 has an uninterrupted view of the Sun and can continuously study solar activities including coronal mass ejections, solar winds, and UV radiation.
