Senior space scientist and director, Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), V. Narayanan on Sunday described Saturday’s placing of the Aditya-L1 spacecraft in halo orbit at Lagrange point L1 to study the sun as a “perfect mission.”
The LPSC had a critical role in the mission’s success and everything had worked as expected, Dr. Narayanan said on his return to Thiruvananthapuram after the mission on Sunday. The LPSC, based at Valiamala in Thiruvananthapuram district, was responsible for the propulsion systems in the Aditya-L1 spacecraft and the PSLV rocket that was used to launch ISRO’s sun mission in September last year.
