    Aditya-L1 was successfully launched on 2 September 2023 and entered the halo orbit around the lagrange point on 6 January 2024. [6] It's a Solar observation mission by ISRO . It will study solar atmosphere, solar magnetic storms , and their impact on the environment around the Earth.

  3. Lagrange point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_point

    The L 1 point lies on the line defined between the two large masses M 1 and M 2. It is the point where the gravitational attraction of M 2 and that of M 1 combine to produce an equilibrium. An object that orbits the Sun more closely than Earth would typically have a shorter orbital period than Earth, but that ignores the effect of Earth's ...
