The head of India's Space Research Organization (ISRO), S Somanath, revealed in an interview that he received a cancer diagnosis the day Aditya-L1, the country's first solar observatory, was launched.
On September 2, the Sun-studying Aditya-L1 mission was launched atop PSLV-C57. But during all the excitement surrounding this momentous occasion, Somanath's personal health took an unexpected turn.
