Earlier on 2 September, ISRO launched the country's maiden solar mission Aditya-L1 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota following the successful soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 near the South pole of the moon.
In December, ISRO informed that the Solar Wind Ion Spectrometer (SWIS), the second instrument in the Aditya Solar Wind Particle Experiment (ASPEX) of its maiden solar mission, Aditya L1 is operational.
