Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to explore the Sun with its upcoming Aditya-L1 mission and is also considering a mission to Venus.

The Aditya-L1 mission, which will study the Sun's radiation output and monitor solar plasma wind and storms, is expected to launch in September. Modi praised ISRO's successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon's South Pole, stating that India is pushing the boundaries of space exploration.
