Aditya or Aditya-L1 is a spacecraft whose mission is to study the Sun. It was conceptualised by the Advisory Committee for Space Research in January 2008. It has been designed and will be built in collaboration between Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and various Indian research organizations and will be launched by ISRO around 2019-2020. This will be the first Indian space mission to study the Sun, and also the first Indian mission to be placed at Lagrangian point L1 -- far away from the Earth from where continuous solar observations are possible. Only NASA and ESA have successfully placed satellites at the L1 point as of date.

The typical plasma parameters during capacitor bank discharges are: I ~30 kA, shot duration ~25 ms, central electron temperature ~100 eV and core plasma density ~10 m and the typical parameters of APPS operation is ~100 kA plasma current, ~ 100 ms duration,central electron temp. ~300 eV and ~3x10 m core plasma density.
