Aditya L1 update: PM Modi on Aditya L1 mission Aditya L1 launch updates: Aditya L1 spacecraft has been separated from the fourth stage of PSLV and has now begun its journey in the space forever. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated the scientists and engineers associated with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Union Minister of State for Science &Technology Dr Jitendra Singh said that Aditya L1 is indeed a sunshine moment for India. The minister also congratulated ISRO chief S Somanath, the team of scientists and people of India on the momentous success of Aditya L1. ISRO chief Somanath said that the spacecraft injected in elliptical orbit. The fourth stage of PSLV-XL is performing normally, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO). The development comes almost 55 minutes after the launch. The fourth stage has ignited on PSLV-C57 carrying the Aditya L1 mission. The telemetry has been acquired and the spacecraft is performing normally.
Aditya L1 is a multi-wavelength, multi-instrument, and multi-directional mission, according to Dr Anil Bharadwaj, Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) scientist for the mission. The mission was important as one can only look at the lower surface of the Sun from the ground, as per Dr Dipankar Banerjee. Days after the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon's South Pole, the ISRO launched Aditya L1, its first-ever space-based observatory to study the Sun.
The first three stages of PSLV-XL have been separated and the third stage has been ignited within the first nine minutes of its launch. The third stage of the mission is performing as intended, according to Isro mission control.
Aditya L1 was launched at 11:50 am on Saturday from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. ISRO shot the Aditya L1 on its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) that will carry the mission on a 125-day voyage. The solar mission is being carried out to study the Sun from a vantage point at the Sun-Earth Lagrange point (L1). A satellite placed in the halo orbit around L1 has a major advantage as it can view the Sun without any occultation/eclipses.

PM Narendra Modi congratulated India and said, "After the success of Chandrayaan-3, India continues its space journey. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers at Isro for the successful launch of India’s first Solar Mission, Aditya -L1. Our tireless scientific efforts will continue in order to develop better understanding of the Universe for the welfare of entire humanity."
Union Minister of State for Science &Technology Dr Jitendra Singh said that Aditya L1 is indeed a sunshine moment for India.
Fourth stage of the PSLV-XL performing normally, says ISRO
Why Aditya L1 is special for Isro
“India is the third country to have a mission at L1. It is multi-wavelength, multi-instrument and multi-direction. You don’t have such a satellite existing in L1 point so far,” said Anil Bharadwaj, Director of Physical Research Laboratory.
The Congress party congratulated Isro on the successful launch of Aditya L1 mission.
Aditya L1 is a multi-wavelength, multi-instrument, and multi-direction mission, Dr Anil Bharadwaj, ISRO's Aditya L1 scientist said.
"Congrats to the entire team at Isro for the successful launch of the #AdityaL1 spacecraft! India has become a leader in space exploration and the benefits of these space missions will be reaped by the entire humanity," says BJP MP Shahnawaz Hussain.
The PSLV has performed nominally as it continues its journey to take Aditya L1 to its destination, says ISRO
Third stage of PSLV separated, says Isro mission control
The second stage of the PSLV rocket was separated successfully and the third stage has begun performing. It is working as intended, according to Isro mission control.
Second stage of the PSLV has been separated whereas the third stage has been ignited
India's maiden sun mission has taken off from Sriharikota, first stage separated.
PSLV-XL will take over 60 minutes to deploy the Aditya L1 spacecraft into space. Aditya L1 will be one of the longest missions of PSLV
The mission director has authorised the mission for launch as all systems are working as intended and conditions are favourable for launch. The automatic launch sequence has begun. Aditya L1 also has an Advanced Launch System (ALS)
Aditya L1 will be placed around Lagrange Point 1.
MoS Dr Jitendra Singh also present at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. People have thronged the Aditya L1 launch site in large numbers
