Toe instruments of Aditya-L 1 are tuned to observe the solar atmosphere

mainly the chromosphere and corona. In-situ instruments will observe the
local environment at L1. There are total seven payloads on-board with four of
them carrying out remote sensing of the Sun and three of them carrying in-
situ observation.
