NEW DELHI - India's maiden solar mission Aditya-L1 early Tuesday successfully underwent the second earth-bound maneuver, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said.

The operation was carried out by ISRO's Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC).

"The second earth-bound maneuver is performed successfully from ISTRAC, Bengaluru," the space agency said in a brief statement.

This solar mission, according to ISRO, will provide a greater advantage of observing solar activities and their effect on space weather in real time

Aditya-L1 was successfully launched on Saturday, onboard the PSLV-C57 rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.

The first earth-bound maneuver was successfully performed on Sunday.

The satellite will undergo two more earth-bound orbital maneuvers before being placed in the transfer orbit towards the Lagrange point L1.
