Aditya-L1 spacecraft is designed to provide remote observations of the solar corona and in situ observations of the solar wind at L1 (Sun-Earth Lagrangian point), which is about 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth.
Aditya L-1 is carrying 7 payloads, or equipment, to investigate the Sun. The Sun's Photosphere, Chromosphere, and Corona will all be studied. The energy coming from the Sun and solar flares, or solar storms, will also be studied.
