In addition to witnessing the launch from the Launch View Gallery at Sriharikota, the visitors will also be able to visit the Space Museum of the centre which has the history of the Indian space programmes and other future planning of the apex space exploration agency.

However, the Aditya L1 is going to be the first space-based observatory class Indian solar mission to study the Sun. The spacecraft is planned to be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrangian point 1  which gives the name L1. It is about 1.5 million km from the Earth. L1 is a unique point because this will not only allow Aditya-L1 to save its fuel but will also provide a view of the Sun to the spacecraft. This ensures that the Aditya-L1 spacecraft will not face any occultations or eclipses during its five-year mission.

According to ISRO, the Aditya-L1 spacecraft is well-equipped with seven payloads. These payloads will be used to study coronal mass ejections, solar flare activities, propagation of particles and fields, the problem of coronal heating, the physics of the solar corona, the magnetic field dynamics in the solar corona and coronal plasmas as well.

The mission stands out from others as it is going to be the first time spatially resolving the solar disk in the near UV band. Additionally, the onboard intelligence will detect CMEs and solar flares for optimised observations and data volume.
