The Solaris Solar Observatory, the first of its kind in Israel, was inaugurated this weekend in the Druze town Isfiya in northern Israel. It will open a window into the fascinating world of solar and space research.
Aditya-L1 reached Lagrange Point L1 on Saturday which is about 1.5 million km from earth. The PSLV-C57.1 rocket carrying the Aditya-L1 orbiter lifted off successfully from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, in September.
"India creates yet another landmark. India's first solar observatory Aditya-L1 reaches it destination. It is a testament to the relentless dedication of our scientists in realising among the most complex and intricate space missions," the Prime Minister said in a post on 'X'.
Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot on Saturday extended his heartfelt congratulations to the dedicated team of ISRO on the successful launch of Aditya -L1, India’s first space-based solar observatory.
"Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun, is getting ready for the launch. The satellite realised at the U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), Bengaluru, has arrived at SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota," ISRO said in a post on X (formally known as Twitter) on Monday.
