Aditya L1 shall be the first space based Indian mission to study the Sun

The spacecraft is expected to be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million km from the Earth

Some of the main objectives of Aditya-L1 mission are to study the Sun and understand coupling and dynamics of the solar atmosphere

The solar mission also seeks to study solar wind distribution and temperature anisotropy, initiation of Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), flares and near-earth space weather

The Aditya-L1 mission will be launched by ISRO PSLV rocket from Sathish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota

The spacecraft carries seven payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere, and the outermost layers of the Sun (the corona) using electromagnetic and particle detector

Aditya L1 is expected to be placed in the halo orbit around the L1 point as it gives the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation/ eclipse.

The suit of Aditya L1 payloads are expected to provide most crucial information to understand the problems of coronal heating, Coronal Mass Ejection, pre-flare and flare activities, and their characteristics, dynamics of space weather, study of the propagation of particles, and fields in the interplanetary medium etc

The science payloads of Aditya-L1 are indigenously developed by different laboratories in the country.

According to ISRO, the sun is a very dynamic star and studying it in detail can provide us with much information about stars in our Milky Way as well as about stars in various other galaxies
