Bengaluru : The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to launch its Aditya L1 mission in December 2023. The mission will study the Sun in detail, and will help scientists to better understand its evolution and its impact on Earth.

The Aditya L1 mission will be India's first dedicated solar mission. It will be placed in a halo orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 1 (L1), which is a point in space where the gravitational pull of the Sun and Earth are equal. This orbit will allow the Aditya L1 spacecraft to stay in constant view of the Sun.

The Aditya L1 spacecraft will be equipped with a number of instruments to study the Sun. These instruments will measure the Sun's magnetic field, its atmosphere, and its solar flares. The data collected by these instruments will help scientists to better understand the Sun's evolution and its impact on Earth.

The Aditya L1 mission is a major milestone for India's space program. It will be the country's first dedicated solar mission, and it will help India to become a leading player in solar research.
