India’s Aditya-L1 spacecraft, designed to study the Sun, completed its fourth earth-bound maneuver early on Friday.

The Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO) announced that the next step, moving the spacecraft away from Earth, will take place on September 19, 2023, at 2 a.m. IST.

Since its launch, ISRO has adjusted the spacecraft’s orbit four times.

Soon, Aditya L1 will leave the Earth’s gravitational pull as it heads towards the Lagrange Point (L1). It will travel about 1.5 million km from Earth, and the journey will last roughly four months.
