'ADITYA-L1', A Solar Mission By ISRO

As I am an Indian, so in this post i shall tell the steps taking by India to upgrade its next level Astronomy Research.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to launch a solar mission, ‘Aditya-L1’ during 2019-2020.
However, it is programmed to observe the Sun from a distance of about 1.5 million km from the Earth (or almost 148 million km away from the Sun) from the Lagrangian point L1. Aditya-L1 will carry six scientific payloads from different institutions in the country to perform a variety of measurements.

ISRO says, “With the inclusion of multiple payloads, this project also provides an opportunity to solar scientists from multiple institutions within the country to participate in space based instrumentation and observations. Thus, the enhanced Aditya-L1 project will enable a comprehensive understanding of the dynamical processes of the sun and address some of the outstanding problems in solar problems".
