“India launched its first space mission to study the sun on Saturday, nearly a week after becoming the first country to land an unmanned robotic spacecraft near the moon’s south pole.
The Aditya-L1 spacecraft, the latest mission in India’s ambitious space program, took off around noon local time from the launchpad at Sriharikota in southern India, embarking on a journey to observe the outer atmosphere of the sun.”
