ISRO XPoSat launch LIVE updates: XPoSat satellite launched successfully, will study X Ray emission from black holes
Read all the latest updates of ISRO's satellite launch here:ISRO has successfully launched the XPoSat satellite on Monday.PSLV-C58 vehicle placed the satellite precisely into the intended orbit of 650 km with 6-degree inclination.Astrophysicist Dr RC Kapoor said that the purpose of XPosSat is the detection of X-rays coming from exotic objects like neutron stars and black holes.ISRO has launched X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on Monday 1 January 2023.1. It is India's first dedicated polarimetry mission that will study dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions.2.
The primary payload POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays) will measure the polarimetry parameters (degree and angle of polarization) in medium X-ray energy range of 8-30 keV photons of astronomical origin.3. The XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing) payload will give spectroscopic information.The launch of the X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is set for 9:10 am (IST) from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.ISRO shared a video of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre from where the X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite will be launched today.ISRO scientists Amit Kumar Patra, Victor Joseph, Yashoda, and Srinivas visit Tirumala Sri Venkateswara temple ahead of the launch of PSLV-C58/EXPOSAT mission.One can watch the LIVE launch of the XPoSat mission on YouTube channel of ISRO.
The launch will begin at 9:10 AM on Monday (1 January).ISRO will study X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite that will study black holes. Download the App to get 14 days of unlimited access to Mint Premium absolutely free!
