Status update on Aditya-L1

Abstract:

ADITYA-L1 is the first Indian mission that is dedicated to study solar atmosphere with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. The satellite will carry seven payloads and is expected to be launched in 2021 by PSLV-XL from Sriharikota. In this presentation I will give an overview on the different payloads, with status update on the mission. One of the main payloads of Aditya L1 satellite is the inner coronagraph, with a FOV of 1.1 to 3 R with the continuum channel and three spectrographic and spectro-polarimetric channels. I will highlight the importance of the co-ordinated observations of Aditya L1 with other space borne and ground based coronagraphs.
