India's first mission to the Sun is set for launch on September 2nd.
On Saturday, ISRO chief S Somanath said that Aditya L-1 has reached Sriharikota and is prepared for launch in the first week of September.
"After the launch, it will take 125 days from the earth to reach Lagrange point 1 (L1).
We have to wait till then," Somnath said.
The mission involves placing Aditya L1 in a set orbit from where it would be easy to observe different phenomenons on the Sun's surface.
It will be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point (L1) of the Sun-Earth system.
The location is around 1.5 million km away from Earth.
