It carries two payloads namely POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays) and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing). POLIX is realized by Raman Research Institute and XSPECT is by Space Astronomy Group of URSC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"fr-img-caption\" style=\"width: 508px;\"><span class=\"fr-img-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.satnow.com\/news\/isro_3_638397692543011096.PNG\" height=\"341\" width=\"506\" class=\"imageload removeImageattr\" ><span class=\"fr-inner\">XPoSat<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The objectives of this mission are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To measure the polarisation of X-rays in the energy band 8-30keV emanating from about 50 potential cosmic sources through Thomson Scattering by POLIX payload.<\/li>\n<li>To carry out long-term spectral and temporal studies of cosmic X-ray sources in the energy band 0.8-15keV by XSPECT payload.<\/li>\n<li>To carry out polarisation and spectroscopic measurements of X-ray emissions from cosmic sources by POLIX and XSPECT payloads respectively in the common energy band.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISRO&#8217;s PSLV-C58 launched the XPOSAT Satellite into an Eastward low inclination orbit on January 01, 2024, 09:10 Hrs IST.
