First launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, was the X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) by the Indian Space Research Organisation.Updates on ISRO XPoSat launch: On Monday, the Indian Space Research Organisation successfully launched India’s first X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite, or XPoSat, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The satellite is designed to provide information about celestial objects such as black holes. It was carried into space by a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket. According to the ISRO, the PSLV-C58 rocket successfully launched payload XPoSat into Low Earth Orbit on its 60th flight.
It is the first specifically designed ISRO scientific satellite to conduct studies on polarisation measurements of X-ray radiation from astronomical sources from space.
In addition to the ISRO, the US-based National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) studied supernova explosion remnants, black hole particle streams, and other cosmic occurrences in December 2021 with the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer mission.
Although India has established space-based X-ray astronomy with an emphasis on imaging and time domain investigations, the space agency stated that Monday’s mission represents a significant contribution to the scientific community.
