what is the mission of aditya l1

The Aditya-L1 mission is Indias first space-based mission to study the Sun. The spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) which is about 1.5 million km from Earth. The mission was originally planned to be a coronagraphy spacecraft to study the solar atmosphere, but its scope has since been expanded to be a comprehensive solar and space environment observatory. The instruments of Aditya-L1 are tuned to observe the solar atmosphere, mainly the chromosphere and corona. The mission aims to study the outermost layers of the Sun (the corona) using electromagnetic and particle and magnetic field detectors. Four payloads will directly view the Sun, while the remaining three payloads will carry out in-situ studies of particles and fields at the Lagrange point L1, providing important scientific studies of the propagatory effect of solar dynamics in the interplanetary medium. The major science objectives of the Aditya-L1 mission are to understand the problem of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, pre-flare and flare activities and their characteristics, dynamics of space weather, propagation of particle and fields, etc. . The suits of Aditya-L1 payloads are expected to provide crucial information to understand these phenomena.
