The next manoeuvre, EBN#3 has been scheduled for 10 September 2023 around 2:30 IST.
Aditya will set on its path towards the L-1 point, around 1.5million km from Earth after the 5th EBN where it will reside permanently, getting an unobstructed view of the Sun. It will observe the Coronal activity of the Sun, and also keep a track on solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), which have the intensity to knock out satellites and power grids around the world.
That is all. Stay tuned for more Mind blowing news on ISRO missions.
Until next time,
