Aditya-L1's primary objective is to study the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, known as the solar corona. This region is crucial for understanding phenomena like solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and the solar wind, which can have significant impacts on space weather
The mission aims to conduct helioseismic studies, which involve studying the Sun's interior by analyzing the propagation of waves on its surface. This will provide insights into the Sun's magnetic activity and internal structure.
Aditya-L1 will be placed in a unique, highly elliptical polar orbit around the Earth, which will allow it to observe the Sun continuously without any interruptions from Earth's shadow.
The mission is a collaborative effort involving multiple Indian space organizations, including the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and various scientific institutions. It also encourages international collaboration in solar research.
Aditya-L1 is equipped with a suite of advanced scientific instruments, including a Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) to observe the solar corona and an Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) for high-resolution imaging of the Sun.
 Studying the Sun's behavior and its impact on space weather is crucial for predicting and mitigating potential threats to Earth-based infrastructure, such as power grids, satellites, and communication systems.
The data gathered from Aditya-L1 will contribute to a better understanding of the Sun-Earth connection and its influence on our planet's environment and climate
The mission is designed for long-term observations, which will allow scientists to monitor the Sun's behavior over extended periods, providing valuable data for ongoing solar research.
