The mission will utilise a PSLV-C57 rocket for its launch. Aditya-L1 carries seven specialised payloads designed to observe different aspects of the Sun, including the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona, across various wavelengths.
Some of the key science objectives of the mission include studying the dynamics of the solar upper atmosphere, investigating the heating of the chromosphere and corona, understanding coronal mass ejections, and examining space weather drivers.
