Aditya L1, India's first  space-based mission  to study the Sun,  launched  at 11:50am by ISRO

The entire journey from  launch to reaching L1 is  expected to take approximately four months 

The Aditya L1 mission was launched by ISRO's PSLV XL  rocket from Satish Dhawan  Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota

Initial Orbit: The spacecraft  will be initially placed in  a Low Earth Orbit

Elliptical Orbit: The orbit will then be adjusted to become more elliptical

The spacecraft will be propelled towards the L1 point using onboard propulsion

As the spacecraft moves towards the Lagrange point, it will exit Earth's gravitational Sphere of Influence

Cruise Phase: After leaving Earth's SOI, the cruise phase of the mission will commence

Halo Orbit: Subsequently, the spacecraft will be injected into a large halo orbit around the Lagrange point (L1).
