ISRO sets for its last mission of 2023! Indian space agency to launch X-ray Polarimeter satellite this month
₹95,000,000. The team developed Preliminary Design Review (PDR) of the XPoSat including the POLIX payload by September 2018.
Following the development of blueprint of preliminary, ISRO began working on POLIX Qualification Model and on Flight Model components fabrication. POLIX will study and record data of about 40 bright astronomical sources.
XSPECT developed by the Space Astronomy Group, URSC, will measure spectroscopic information and timing of soft X-rays. This payload is designed for timing studies study soft X-rays.
Main purpose of this payload is to understand long-term behaviour of X-ray sources through correlation of timing characteristics while aligning with spectral state changes and emission line variations. XSPECT will study and record data of X-ray pulsars, blackhole binaries, low-magnetic field neutron star (NS) in LMXBs, AGNs and Magnetars.Milestone Alert!
