India's first solar space observatory, the Aditya-L1, is now on its way to the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point-1 (L1), around 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. So far, the mission has gone off without a hitch, and it is expected to mark yet another major space milestone for the country. That said, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has now revealed that a small tweak was made to the spacecraft's course on Friday (October 6) to ensure it stays on track.
