The Aditya L1 mission, unlike the Parker Solar Probe, won’t actually go anywhere near the Sun. However, unlike other satellites, it’s not going to be stuck in Earth’s lower atmosphere either.
Instead, the plan is to launch it in a halo orbit around Lagrangian Point 1 (L1), which is approximately 1.5 kilometres from the Earth’s surface. At L1, the ISRO satellite will still be moving in orbit but its position relative to the Sun and the Earth will be stable.
"A satellite placed in the halo orbit around L1 of the Sun-Earth system has the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation or eclipses," says ISRO.
