The Indian Space Research Organisation on September 5 (Tuesday) said its mission to study the Sun- Aditya-L1- has successfully undergone the second earth-bound manoeuvre.
The space organisation posted on X: "The second Earth-bound maneuvre (EBN#2) is performed successfully from ISTRAC, Bengaluru."
"ISTRAC/ISRO's ground stations at Mauritius, Bengaluru and Port Blair tracked the satellite during this operation," ISRO said. "The new orbit attained is 282 km x 40225 km," the space organisation said.
ISRO said the next manoeuvre (EBN#3) is scheduled to take place on September 10, around 02:30 hrs. IST.
The organisation successfully launched its maiden solar mission Aditya-L1 from Sriharikota on September 2.
Aditya-L1 was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, days after India's lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, successfully soft landed on the Moon.
It will approximately take the spacecraft 125 days to reach the Sun.
