Introduction – Aditya L1 is the first solar mission of India that was developed and designed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and many other Indian research Institutes. Earlier, ISRO launched Aditya L1 successfully from Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC), Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh on September 2, 2023. This spacecraft was introduced on board a PSLV-XL launch vehicle at about 11:50 a.m. on September 2, 2023. Aditya L1 spacecraft will be located in a halo orbit around the L1 Lagrange point between the Earth and the Sun and is placed around 1.5 million kilometers from Earth and also study about solar magnetic storms, solar atmosphere, and the effect on the environment of Earth.

As per ISRO, Aditya LI will carry seven payloads that are VELC (Visible Emission Line Coronagraph), SUIT (Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope), SoLEXS (Solar Low Energy X-Ray Spectrometer), HEL10S (High Energy L1 Orbiting X-Ray Spectrometer), ASPEX (Aditya Solar Wind Particle Experiment), PAPA (Plasma Analyzer Package for Aditya), and Advanced Tri-axial High Resolution Digital Magnetometers. to analyze or study the chromosphere, photosphere, and the outermost layer of the Sun by using electromagnetic and magnetic field detectors.

9 Main Objectives of Aditya LI – There are several important objectives of Aditya LI's mission are given below –

To analyze or study Solar upper atmospheric (corona and chromosphere) dynamics.
To analyze the plasma environment and in-situ particle that provide information for the study of particle dynamics from the Sun.
To study the physics of solar coronal and its heating mechanism.
To observe magnetic field measurements and magnetic field topology in the solar corona.
To study or identify the arrangement or sequence of procedures, which occur at several layers extended corona, and chromosphere) that eventually lead to solar eruptive events.
To observe the physical particle environment around its position.
To study the dynamics, development, and origin of CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections).
To analyze or study of initiation of the coronal mass, flares, and ejections, chromospheric and coronal heating, and physics of the partially ionized plasma.
Drivers for space weather, and the dynamics, origin, and composition of solar wind.
