Science from Aditya-L1 mission of the Indian Space Research Organization

The Aditya-L1 is the first observatory of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in space dedicated to solar observations. The spacecraft will carry 7 payloads providing uninterrupted observations of the Sun using remote sensing as well as in-situ measurements from the first Lagrangian point. There are four remote sensing instruments namely a coronagraph, an NUV imager, full-sun integrated soft X-ray and hard X-ray spectrometers. In addition, there are three instruments for in-situ measurements including a magnetometer to study the magnetic field variations during energetic events. I will high-light some of the salient feature for the mission and the important roles it will play in enhancing our knowledge in the science of the solar atmosphere and inner solar corona.
