A simple introduction to this answer can revolve around a general statement about Aditya L1
You may incorporate some of the following points in the body of your answer:
Payloads of the Mission
The spacecraft carries seven scientific payloads for systematic study of the Sun. All payloads are indigenously developed in collaboration with various ISRO Centres.
Visible Emission Line Coronagraph
Objectives of the Aditya L-1
The main objective of the mission is to expand our knowledge of the Sun, and how its radiation, heat, flow of particles, and magnetic fields affect us. There are various other objectives that the mission will embark upon:
(i) To study the upper atmospheric layers of the Sun called chromosphere and corona. While the corona is the outermost layer, the chromosphere is just below it.
(ii) To examine coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic fields from the Sun’s corona.
(iii) To analyse the corona’s magnetic field and the driver of the space weather.
(iv) To understand why the Sun’s not-so-bright corona is a million degree Celsius hot when the temperature on the surface of the Sun is just about 5,500 degree Celsius.
(v) To help scientists know the reasons behind the acceleration of particles on the Sun, which leads to the solar wind — the constant flow of particles from the Sun.
Conclusion
Your conclusion should be short. You may include:
According to ISRO, the Sun “emits radiation/light in nearly all wavelengths along with various energetic particles and magnetic fields. The atmosphere of the Earth as well as its magnetic field acts as a protective shield and blocks a number of harmful wavelength radiations including particles and fields.”
The mission hopes to generate user-friendly information that can help safeguard a range of satellite-dependent operations such as telecommunications, mobile-based Internet services, navigation, power grids, etc.
Among the five Lagrange points, L1 is the most favoured to get an unhindered view of the Sun. L2 is located behind the Earth, and thus obstructs the view of the Sun, while L3 is behind the Sun which is not a great position to communicate with Earth. L4 and L5 are good and stable locations, but are much farther from Earth compared to L1, which is directly between the Sun and the Earth.
