Aditya-L1 is the first Indian space mission to study the Sun. The mission is aimed at studying the Sun from a halo orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point 1, which is about 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth. It carries seven payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere and the outermost layers of the Sun, the corona, in different wavebands. The spacecraft and payloads are under development. Aditya-L1 is expected to be launched during the 2019-20 time-frame by PSLV-XL.
