As per ISRO, the scientific instruments/payloads on Vikram and the lunar rover Pragyan have demonstrated satisfactory performance.

The Aditya mission, the first by an Asian country to be placed in orbit around the Sun, is expected to contribute significantly to our understanding of solar dynamics and enhance our ability to predict space weather phenomena.

According to ISRO officials, the spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, about 1.5 million km from the Earth. The L1 point is about one per cent of the total distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Deliberations to explore the possibilities of JNTU-H providing the ISRO employees with necessary training in cyber security and improve their skills is already are going on.

So far in its journey, the spacecraft has undergone four earth-bound manoeuvres and a Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) manoeuvres, all successfully Addressing reporters on the very first day of 2024, Somanath said ISRO has about 12-14 missions in pipeline this year.

The Indian space agency will also test its scramjet engine and the reusable launch vehicle during the current year, Somanath said.

ISRO's ever reliable Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) in its C58 mission, placed the primary X-Ray Polarimeter satellite XPoSat into a 650 Km Low Earth Orbit as intended after lifting off at the pre-fixed time of 9.10 am from the first launch pad.
