Main objective of Aditya L1 mission
The mission will study weather dynamics, the temperature of the Sun, the effect of ultraviolet rays on Earth and the ozone layer. Scientists believe that the accuracy of weather forecasting will also increase by studying the sun. This will help in creating a system through which information about storms can be obtained immediately and alerts can be issued. The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT), the core instrument for the Aditya L1 mission, has been developed by the Pune-based Inter-University Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA).
