On September 10, the Aditya L1 Mission: STEPS was initiated at a distance of more than 50,000 kilometers from Earth. This distance is more than eight times the radius of the Earth, putting it beyond the radiation belt zone.
ISRO Aditya L1 Mission: India's first solar mission, Aditya L-1, has begun gathering scientific data, according to ISRO. The sensors on the STEPS experiment have begun monitoring suprathermal ions and electrons at distances more than 50,000 kilometers from Earth. According to ISRO, this data assists scientists in analyzing particles near the Earth. STEPS was launched on September 10 at a distance of almost 50,000 kilometers from Earth.This distance is more than eight times the radius of the Earth, putting it beyond the radiation belt zone.
According to ISRO, data collecting will continue till the spacecraft reaches a distance of 50,000 kilometers from Earth. ISRO further stated that each step's unit is working within normal norms.
What is STEPS?
STEPS is a Supra Thermal and Energetic Particle Spectrometer instrument, part of the Aditya Solar Wind Particle Experiment (ASPEX) payload. The steps have six sensors, each sensor observes in different directions and measures supra-thermal and ion. These measurements are made using low- and high-energy particle spectrometers.STEPS is the Aditya Solar Wind Particle Experiment (ASPEX) payload's Supra Thermal and Energetic Particle Spectrometer instrument. The steps have six sensors, each of which observes in a different direction and monitors suprathermal and ion levels. Low- and high-energy particle spectrometers are used to make these observations. Scientists will be able to investigate particle behavior in the presence of Earth's magnetic field using data obtained during Earth's orbit."

The satellite is healthy and operating nominally.
The first Earth-bound maneuvre (EBN#1) is performed successfully from ISTRAC, Bengaluru. The new orbit attained is 245km x 22459 km.
The next maneuvre (EBN#2) is scheduled for September 5, 2023, around 03:00… pic.twitter.com/sYxFzJF5Oq
