The Latest Breaking News from L1

The gravitational forces between multiple massive bodies in space create Lagrange points, stable locations between celestial bodies where a third body of negligible mass can remain at rest. These points offer ideal 'parking spots' for satellites, and are home to several astronomical observatories. Lagrange points were named after mathematician Joseph-Louis…

ISRO's Aditya-L1 spacecraft is on its way to Sun-Earth Lagrange's Point 1 (L1). Assessment of space situation around L1 is done to ensure safety of spacecraft. Aditya-L1 will operate in halo orbit around L1 and will be continuously viewed from Earth. Four operational spacecrafts are stationed at L1. ISRO plans…
