ADITYA-1 is the first space based Solar Coronagraph intended to study the outermost region of the sun called Corona. ADITYA-1 in the visible and near IR bands will study the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) such as the coronal magnetic field structures and evolution of coronal magnetic field and consequently the crucial physical parameters for space weather. The major scientific objective of the ADITYA-1 is to achieve a fundamental understanding of the physical processes that heat the solar corona (base to the extended), accelerate the solar wind and produce CMEs. ISRO said preliminary design of the optical systems of ADITYA-1 has been finalised and design document generated; "Trade-offstudies on the selection of detector system have been completed and the list of subsystem packages along with power and mass budget generated," it said. ISRO has also planned “SENSE”, a twin satellite mission to probe the electromagnetic environment ofthe Earth's near space region. It is proposed to launch two small satellites in a low earth orbit of around 500 km, for space weather related studies. SENSE is part of ISRO’s “Small Satellites Programme”, recommended by ISRO’s ADCOS.SENSE aims to unravel the roles played by major large-scale drivers in determining the state of the Ionosphere-Thermosphere system and the weather of the near space environment at low latitudes. ISRO said engineering models ofthe electric and magnetic field probes chosen for the SENSE mission have already been tested and their frequency responses studied.

m not sure but has china's space probes etc sent till now been any good for the overall scientific community ? We never get to hear wtf the moon probe by china actually did... all we hear was they acheved it X years before India
