ISRO Aditya L1 launch | What happens after the launch?
Once launched, the Aditya-L1 satellite will stay in Earth-bound orbits for 16 days. It is during this period that it will undergo five maneuvers to gain the necessary velocity for its journey. Subsequently, it will undergo a Trans-Lagrangian1 insertion maneuver, marking the beginning of its 110-days-long trajectory to the destination around L1.
Once the satellite reaches the L1 point, another maneuver will bind Aditya-L1 to an orbit around L1.
ISRO Aditya L1 Mission | What does 'L1' in Aditya-L1 mean?
While the word Aditya means the Sun in Sanskrit, the 'L1' in the name of the manmade satellite stands for Lagrange Point 1, which is a location in space where the gravitational forces of the Earth and the Sun are in equilibrium.
L1 is a balanced gravitational location between the Earth and the Sun. Simply put, it is this state of equilibrium that allows any object placed there to remain relatively stable with respect to both celestial bodies.

Aditya L1 Mission Live Updates: What a former ISRO scientist says about Aditya-L1 mission
Ahead of the launch of India's maiden solar mission Aditya-L1, former ISRO scientist Tapan Misra said that it is an important project to study solar flares and the solar wind which affect the weather. "The project should have been launched in 2015 and it is already delayed. There is an 11-year cycle of the solar wind. This solar wind when it goes up creates a disturbance in the satellite communications and even the electrical distribution system on the ground. And it affects the weather because as the solar flares increase, more is the sun's surface temperature. When the solar flares are less the sun's temperature is also less and correspondingly the weather also changes."
