“From Moon walk to Sun Dance! What a glorious turn of year for Bharat! Under the visionary leadership of PM Narendra Modi, yet another success story scripted by Team ISRO. AdityaL1 reaches its final orbit to discover the mysteries of the Sun-Earth connection,” stated Union Minister for Space, Dr Jitendra Singh on January 6,

following the successful Insertion of Aditya-L1 to Halo Orbit. In a series of media interviews, Minister said that the success of Aditya L1 is going to be a path breaking effort to discover the
mysteries of the Sun, which were hitherto either not understood or became a part of the fairy tales and folktales, informed the PIB.

India also has a special stake in the study of Sun phenomena because of the large number of satellites in space, said Dr Jitendra Singh. The Minister also took the example of the private space exploration company SpaceX losing 40 satellites in a go, after being hit by a solar storm a day after launch, to underline how important the understanding of solar phenomena is. .
