Aditya L1, the first space based solar mission is all set to be launched on 2 September 2023. The Aditya L1 Solar Observatory spacecraft has been specifically designed to explore different solar activities in real time, and their influence on space weather. It will be the first space-based Indian mission to study the Sun.
After the historic success of Chandrayaan-3, ISRO has great expectations from the Aditya L1 mission. The Aditya L1 will take off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
Let us check out the Aditya L1 launch date, time, objectives, budget, live streaming, and other details.

Aditya L1 Launch Time
Aditya L1 will be launched at 11:50 am IST.
Aditya L1 Mission Budget
The overall budget of Aditya L1 is expected to be Rs 400 Crore.
Aditya L1 Launch Vehicle
The launch vehicle for Aditya L1 is PSLV-XL.
Aditya L1 Mission Objectives
According to a report released by ISRO, the Aditya L1 mission objectives include the following:
Study of Solar upper atmospheric (chromosphere and corona) dynamics.
Development, dynamics and origin of CMEs.
Identify the sequence of processes that occur at multiple layers (chromosphere, base and extended corona) which eventually leads to solar eruptive events.
Magnetic field topology and magnetic field measurements in the solar corona .
Drivers for space weather (origin, composition and dynamics of solar wind.
Study of chromospheric and coronal heating, physics of the partially ionized plasma, initiation of the coronal mass ejections, and flares
Observe the in-situ particle and plasma environment providing data for the study of particle dynamics from the Sun.
Physics of solar corona and its heating mechanism.
Diagnostics of the coronal and coronal loops plasma: Temperature, velocity and density.
