India's ISRO is planning a next large space mission for observing the
sun called Aditya-1 that will be launched some time between 2017 and
2020 from the Satish Dhawan space Center in Sriharikota, India on a
Polar Space Launch Vehicle.
The spacecraft's launch mass should be 400 kg and it would go to a Near Earth orbit. The mission's estimated cost is 20 million USD.
Aditya-1 has been in the works already since 2008, and now it's finally clear what it will be doing - studying space weather and coronal mass ejections.
