The ADITYA-1 mission was conceived as a 400 kg class satellite carrying one payload, the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) and was planned to launched in a 800 km earth orbit.A satellite placed in the halo orbit around the lagrangain point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system has the major advantages of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation. Therefore,the Aditya-1 mission has now been revised to " Aditya-L1 mission" and will be inserted in a halo orbit around the ADITYA L1 which is 1.5 million km from the Earth.
Objective of the Aditya L1 mission will study the sun's outer most layers, the corona and the Chromospheres and collect data about coronal mass ejection, which will also yeild information for space weather predition. Aditya L1 mission will help Indian Agriculture, Industries and many more in different wat which major portion mostly depends on weather 
and all.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MISSION-The data from Aditya mission will be immensely helpful in discriminating between different models for the origin of solar storms and also for constraining how the storms evolve and what path they take through the interplanetary space from the sun to the Earth.
POSITION OF THE SATELLITE- In order to get the best science from the sun, continuous viewing of the sun is preferred without any occultation and hence ,Aditya-L1 satellite will be placed in the holo orbit around the Lagrangain point 1 (L1) of the sun-Earth system.
With the inclusion of multiple payloads, this project also provides an opportunity to solar scientists from multiple institutes within the country to to participate in space based instrumentation and observations. Thus the enhanced Aditya-L1 project will enable a comprehensive understanding of the dynamical process of the sun and address some of the outstanding problems in solar physics.
