How many years will ISRO's Aditya L1 operate..?

Indian Space Research Organization's Aditya L1 spacecraft will operate for 5 years. It will study the various changes taking place on the surface of the Sun. ISRO's first solar probe Aditya L1 has successfully reached the L1 point as planned. Following the US, Germany, and the european union, india has also achieved the feat by launching its solar probe.
The point in space where the gravitational forces of the sun and the Earth are balanced is called the Lagrangian point. Joseph-Louis Lagrange was the first to study this Lagrangian point in the 18th century. The Lagrangian point is named after him. The Aditya L1 spacecraft, which will be stationed at this point known as L1, will study the Sun. The Sun's activities and its effects on space can be observed for the next 5 years.
Studies carried out by Aditya L1:

Aditya-L1 is designed to study the Sun's upper atmosphere (chromosphere and corona) and its interaction with the solar wind. It aims to understand the physics of partially ionized plasma in the solar atmosphere. The spacecraft will investigate the heating mechanisms of the solar corona. It will also observe the initiation and development of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares. It will study the plasma environment near the sun and characterize the magnetic field in the solar corona. It will also study space weather.
Aditya L1 Study Tools:

The Aditya L1 spacecraft will carry seven payloads to study the Sun's corona, chromosphere, photosphere, and solar wind. Four remote sensing payloads (VELC, SUIT, SoLEXS, HEL1OS) will image the Sun's atmosphere in different wavelengths of light. These include ultraviolet and X-rays. Three other payloads, ASPEX, PAPA, and wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital magnetometers will measure the solar wind and magnetosphere.
