Aditya-L1 Mission:
🔸The spacecraft has travelled beyond a distance of 9.2 lakh kilometres from Earth, successfully escaping the sphere of Earth's influence. It is now navigating its path towards the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1).
🔸This is the second time in succession that ISRO could send a spacecraft outside the sphere of influence of the Earth, the first time being the Mars Orbiter Mission.

Another flight and another record for Ingenuity! 🚁
The #MarsHelicopter completed Flight 61, breaking the altitude record it set on Flight 59 by reaching ~79 ft (24 m). This was a pop-up flight that lasted about 129 seconds. http://go.nasa.gov/3OIDIT3

Mars Helicopter - NASA
The Mars Helicopter is a technology demonstration to test powered flight on another planet for the first time.
Aditya-L1 Mission:
The Spacecraft is healthy and on its way to Sun-Earth L1.
A Trajectory Correction Maneuvre (TCM), originally provisioned, was performed on October 6, 2023, for about 16 s. It was needed to correct the trajectory evaluated after tracking the Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) maneuvre performed on September 19, 2023.
TCM ensures that the spacecraft is on its intended path towards the Halo orbit insertion around L1.
As Aditya-L1 continues to move ahead, the magnetometer will be turned on again within a few days.

An updated schedule of Russian lunar missions was presented yesterday at the 14th International Symposium on Solar System Research. #Luna26 (orbiter) will not be launched earlier, as some of the experts expected. #Luna27 is now scheduled for NET 2028 (instead of 2028) and has a backup. It will be launched few months after Luna-27.
