ISRO's Aditya-L1 Mission Set to Launch on September 2 to Study the Sun

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced that the Aditya-L1 mission, India's first solar mission to study the Sun, will be launched on September 2. The spacecraft will provide remote observations of the solar corona and in-situ observations of the solar wind at the Sun-Earth Lagrange point (L1). The mission aims to understand the temperature of the corona, observe solar activities, study particle dynamics, and investigate the physics of the solar corona and its heating mechanism. The Aditya-L1 mission is a fully indigenous effort with the participation of national institutions.
