The Aditya Mission is India’s spacecraft to study the sun. It has been designed and will be launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) between 2017 and 2020. Its main objectives are to study the Coronal Mass Ejection and to study the crucial physical parameters for space weather such as the coronal magnetic field structures, evolution of the coronal magnetic field etc. It is a low-earth orbit mission with an altitude of 800 kilometers. Recently, ISRO has upgraded its first satellite Aditya-1 from being single payload to examine the Sun’s corona to five payload that would scrutinize Sun more closely and know about solar winds and its impact on Earth’s atmosphere.
