The purpose of this mission is to study the Sun in detail.
Some important things to know about Aditya-L1 Mission
Mission type: solar study/observation
Operator: ISRO
COSPAR ID:2023-132A
SATCAT number: 57754
Mission duration: 5. 2 years
Mission Director: Nigar Sharji
On 2 September 2023, at 11:50 IST, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C57) successfully launched Aditya-L1 from the second launch pad of the "Satish Dhawan Space Center" (SDSC) at Sriharikota
Aditya-L1,
After a flight duration of 63 minutes and 20 seconds, achieved successful injection into an elliptical orbit around the Earth at 12:54 IST.

L1 Lagrange to Aditya-L1
The point is to undergo a series of four Earth orbital maneuvers before being injected into the transition orbit.
It is expected to reach its fixed orbit at the L1 point about 127 days after launch.
Editing
On October 6, 2023, Aditya-L1 performed a Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM). The estimated speed needed to be corrected after tracking the Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 insertion (TL1I) moves on September 19, 2023.
Mission Objectives
This mission is a chronography mission
is a mission sent to study the Sun's atmosphere, and itwill tell us more about the solar magnetic currents and what effects they have on our communication satellites on Earth...
To study chromospheric and coronal heating, the physics of partially ionized plasma, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their origin, coronal magnetic field and heat transfer mechanisms, and flare exchange.
Observing the physical particle environment around its position
To determine the sequence of processes in the multiple layers beneath the corona that lead to solar flares.
Aditya's mission includes space weather, and studying the origin, composition, and dynamics of the solar wind.
