The names were announced by PM Modi at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) on Tuesday while inaugurating three major technical facilities of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
Later, scientists at ISRO would undertake a series of manoeuvres to place the satellite into the Geo-stationary orbit in the coming days.
According to ISRO officials, the spacecraft was placed in a halo orbit around Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, about 1.5 million km from the Earth.
ISRO's maiden X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite would offer insights into celestial objects like black holes.
The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is aimed to investigate the polarisation of intense X-ray sources in space.
The test vehicle mission is predecessor to the Gaganyaan programme which aims to send humans into space.
The Test Vehicle mission with this Crew Module is a significant milestone for the overall Gaganyaan programme as a nearly complete system is integrated for a flight test.
The next manoeuvre is scheduled for September 5.
Aditya-L1 is the first space-based observatory class to study the Sun and is being fired using ISRO's PSLV.
It will be the first dedicated Indian space mission for observations of the Sun to be launched by ISRO.
