ISRO launches first polarimetry mission

1

XPoSat launch

ISRO has launched its first-ever polarimetry mission, the X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat). This project aims to study the dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions.

2

Time and location

Launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 09:10am, the PSLV-C58 rocket, in its 60th mission, carried XPoSat and 10 other satellites into low earth orbits.

3

Mission

XPoSat is the first dedicated satellite from ISRO with the primary purpose of investigating the polarization measurements of intense X-ray emissions from celestial sources (like black holes) in space.

4

Scientific payloads

The XPoSat satellite carries two scientific payloads, POLIX and XSPECT, for polarimetry and spectroscopy measurements.

5

Start-up payloads

Besides XPoSat, the PSLV-C58 also carried payloads from Indian space start-ups. These payloads aim to demonstrate microsatellite subsystems, thrusters, and radiation shield coating for satellites.
