The country's first polarimetry mission will be launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
This mission will launch on January 1, 2024.
In this, X-ray Polarimetry Satellite (XPoSat) will be sent with PSLV-C58.
This satellite will collect data of X rays and study black holes and neutron stars.
XPoSat will be the third observatory to be established in space after Aditya L1 and Astrosat.
It is India's first and the world's second polarimetry mission after NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, launched in 2021.
XPoSat aims to study the 50 brightest sources in the universe.
These include pulsars, black hole X-ray binaries, active galactic nuclei, neutron stars and the remnants of non-thermal supernovae.
This satellite will be installed in a low earth orbit of 500-700 km.
It will collect data for 5 years.
This satellite and its payload have been built by U.R. Rao Satellite Center and Raman Research Institute.
Through this, we will be able to gather information about the geometry and mechanisms of distant sources in space.
