STORYLINE:
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has confirmed that India successfully launched its maiden solar mission named "Aditya-L1" on Saturday, onboard the PSLV-C57 rocket (in XL configuration).
The country's ambitious mission to study the Sun was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.
Aditya-L1's separation from the launch vehicle is projected to happen nearly 63 minutes after the rocket blasts off from the second launch pad at Sriharikota. This is said to be one of the longest PSLV missions ever undertaken.
The launch was telecast live on domestic TV media channels, besides various social media platforms of the ISRO. Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh and ISRO Chairman S. Somnath were among those present at the launch eve
