The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to launch the Aditya-L1 mission by June or July this year.
Aditya-L1 is the first Indian space mission to observe the Sun and the solar corona.
The Aditya-L1 mission will be launched by ISRO to the L1 orbit (which is the first Lagrangian point of the Sun-Earth system). L1 orbit allows Aditya-L1 to look at the Sun continuously.
In total Aditya-L1 has seven payloads, of which the primary payload is the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC), designed and fabricated by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru.
L1 orbit is situated about 1.5 million kilometres from Earth and the satellite will have a continuous view of the Sun.
The payload will be taken to the UR Rao Satellite Center in Bengaluru, where it will be integrated with the Aditya-L1 satellite, which will undergo a lot of tests, evaluations and will finally be launched using PSLV.
