Aditya-L1 is a coronagraphy spacecraft to study the solar atmosphere, designed and developed by

the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and various other Indian research institutes.

It will be inserted at about 1.5 million km from Earth in a halo orbit around the L1 Lagrange point
between the Earth and the Sun where it will study the solar atmosphere, solar magnetic storms, and
their impact on the environment around Earth.

It is the first Indian mission dedicated to observing the Sun and was launched aboard a PSLV-XL
launch vehicle at 11:50 hrs. (IST) on September 2, 2023.
The Aditya-L1 mission will take around 109 Earth days after launch] to reach the halo
orbit around the L1 point.

The Aditya-L1 mission holds the promise of significantly advancing our understanding of the
Sun's behaviour and its interactions with Earth and the space environment.
