India's first X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is set to make history as the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) plans a landmark launch aboard a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) on 1 January, 2024.The launch will take place at 9:10 a.m. Indian Standard Time (IST) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre First Launch Pad in Andhra Pradesh.The XPoSat deep-space observatory is about to begin a five-year scientific mission to unravel the mysteries of the universe by taking X-ray images of celestial objects to study the physics of their environments.The ambitious mission aims to study the 50 brightest cosmic signals, such as pulsars, black hole X-ray binaries, active galactic nuclei, neutron stars and supernova remnants.The mission's primary instrument, POLIX, will study the medium X-ray spectrum (8-30 keV) to measure the degree and angle of polarisation.Its partner, XSPECT, will study the 0.8-15 keV range, providing essential spectroscopic insights that will enhance these discoveries.Developed by the Raman Research Institute and the U R Rao Satellite Centre, these instruments have the potential to revolutionise a comprehensive understanding of celestial phenomena.

ISRO to Launch ‘XPoSat’, India’s First X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite, on 1 January
After the successful launch of the Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission and Aditya-L1, the Indian Space and Research Agency (ISRO) will launch India's first X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) on January 1.
India's first X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is set to make history as the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) plans a landmark launch aboard a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) on 1 January, 2024.
The launch will take place at 9:10 a.m. Indian Standard Time (IST) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre First Launch Pad in Andhra Pradesh.
The
XPoSat deep-space observatory is about to begin a five-year scientific mission to unravel the mysteries of the universe by taking X-ray images of celestial objects to study the physics of their environments.
The ambitious mission aims to study the 50 brightest cosmic signals, such as pulsars, black hole X-ray binaries, active galactic nuclei, neutron stars and supernova remnants.
