Abstract : ADITYA-L1 is the first Indian mission that is dedicated to study solar atmosphere with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. The satellite will carry seven payloads and is expected to be launched in 2020 by PSLV-XL from Sriharikota. In this presentation I will give an overview on the different payloads, with status update on the mission. National Large Solar Telescope (NLST) is a proposed ground based 2-m class optical and near infra-red (IR) observational facility to be built in the Merak site in Ladakh. I will give an update on the current status of the project and will highlight the importance of coordinated observations from ground and space.
