A day after the launch of Aditya L1 to the Earth’s orbit, ISRO successfully completed the first orbit manoeuvring exercise on Sunday.
“The satellite is healthy and operating nominally,” said ISRO after the satellite was upgraded to a higher orbit and with increased velocity.
“The first Earth-bound maneuvre (EBN#1) is performed successfully from ISTRAC, Bengaluru. The new orbit attained is 245km x 22459 km. The next maneuvre (EBN#2) is scheduled for September 5, 2023, around 03:00 Hrs,” tweeted ISRO on X, formerly Twitter on Sunday.
After the completion of first orbit manoeuvring exercise, ISRO will perform the second such exercise on 5th September. A total of five such orbit manoeuvring will be performed during the satellite’s revolution around the Earth.
