Aditya-L1 will be the first space-based observatory-class Indian solar mission to study the Sun.
The spacecraft will be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrangian point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million km from Earth. The mission got its name from this Lagrangian point 1.
The mission is scheduled to be launched on September 2 at 11:50 am aboard a PSLV-C57.
The mission aims to unravel the dynamics and origins of coronal mass ejections, significantly contributing to our understanding of the Sun's behaviour and its influence on Earth's environment.
Aditya-L1 consists of a total of seven payloads on-board with four of them carrying out remote sensing of the Sun and three of them carrying in-situ observations.
The answer is no. Due to the limited mass, power and volume of the spacecraft that carries the payloads, only a limited set of instruments can be sent on-board to study the Sun.
As per ISRO, by studying the Sun we can learn much more about the stars in our Milky Way as well as about stars in various other galaxies.
