There are seven major Lagrange points within 1.2 million miles of Earth, he notes: the L1 and L2 of the Earth-sun system and five “lesser” Lagrange points of the Earth-moon system.

The Aditya-L1 spacecraft safely arrived at Lagrange Point L1, the position in space with unobstructed views of the sun located about 1.5 million kilometers (almost a million miles) from Earth ...

Further, the three instruments for conducting on-site experiments will observe the local environment at the Lagrangian point L1. Image Credits: ISRO. Aditya-L1, for which the Indian government ...

The Aditya-L1 spacecraft is an unmanned observation ... taking a more elliptical path and finally use onboard propulsion to push out into a region around the Sun known as the Lagrange Point 1 (L1).

Aditya-L1 is planned to settle into a halo orbit around Earth-sun Lagrange point 1, a gravitationally stable area from which the spacecraft will have an uninterrupted view of the sun.

L1 is opposite the L2 Lagrange point, which is the home of telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope and the recently launched Euclid space telescope. Recommended Videos ...

Once free from Earth's grip, Aditya-L1 will make its way to the Earth-sun Lagrange Point 1, a gravitationally stable spot about 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away.

India launched Aditya-L1, its first space mission to study the sun, from Sriharikota. The spacecraft will travel to Lagrange point 1 between the sun and Earth.

India will launch its first sun-studying spacecraft this weekend, if all goes according to plan. The Aditya-L1 solar observatory is scheduled to launch Saturday (Sept. 2) at 2:20 a.m. EDT (0620 ...
