The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPOSat) was launched on Monday by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C58).
The XPOSat is India’s first specialized polarimetry mission to examine various dynamics of intense astronomical X-ray sources under harsh conditions, according to the Indian News Agency (ANI).
The PSLV-C58 mission aims to measure the polarization of X-rays in the 8-30 keV energy range that originate from approximately 50 probable cosmic sources. This will enable the study of cosmic x-ray sources over an extended period of time, both spectrally and temporally. An essential diagnostic tool for analyzing the geometry and emission process of astronomical sources is the X-ray polarisation.
