Objective: Aditya L1 will study the Sun's corona (Visible and Near infrared rays), Sun's photosphere (soft and hard X-ray), chromosphere (Ultra Violet ), solar emissions, solar winds and flares, and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), and will...
History of Aditya-L1 ::
The scope of the mission has since been expanded and it is now planned to be a comprehensive solar and space environment observatory to be placed at the Lagrange point 1. As of July 2019, the mission has an allocated cost...
VELC :: VELC is the prime payload onboard Aditya-L1, designed as a reflective coronagraph with a multi-slit spectrograph. SUIT is a UV telescope to image the solar disk in the near ultra-violet wavelength range. HEL1OS is a hard X-ray...
The Aditya-L1 mission will take around 109 Earth days after launch to reach the halo orbit around the L1 point, which is about 1,500,000 km (930,000 mi) from Earth. The spacecraft will remain in the halo orbit for its planned mission duration while...
The Indian Space Research Organisation said Sankarasubramanian K has been designated as the Principal Scientist of the Aditya-L1 mission. Aditya-L1 is the first observatory-class space-based solar mission from India.
Aditya-L1, named after the Sun's core, aims to study Sun's behaviour by placing itself in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth.

Aditya-L1 Mission is India's first solar mission planned by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Earlier the name was Aditya -1, which has been renamed as Aditya-L1 Mission.

The sun's corona
It appears as white streamers or plumes of ionized gas that flow outward into space. Temperatures in the sun's corona can get as high as 3.5 million degrees F (2 million degrees C).
The Aditya L1 mission will be launched by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), which also launched Chandrayaan-1 in 2008 and the Mars Orbiter spacecraft in 2013.
While many said that it is going to be a success, a few still have doubts. Out of 8,317 people, a high 93 per cent said ISRO's Aditya L1 mission will be successful.
