India launched Aditya L1 and as it begins its journey to  Lagrange Point 1,  Europe has come to help

European Space Agency (ESA) is playing a pivotal role in the mission.

It is providing crucial support in two significant ways...

ESA is offering deep space communication services

It is also helping with the validation of new flight dynamics software developed by ISRO

ESA is leveraging its global network of deep space tracking stations and internationally recognised technical standards to assist ISRO

The ESA will continue to support the mission from its inception through to its completion

It include the critical 'Launch and Early Orbit Phase', and the journey to Lagrange L1 

Also, it will help in the transmission and reception of science data from Aditya-L1 over the next two years of routine operations
