The main task of the XPoSat satellite is to measure the polarization of X-ray radiation from celestial bodies.

India successfully launched the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), which launched the XPoSat satellite into orbit. The launch was broadcast by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Monday, January 1.

The four-stage rocket was launched from the launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Center on Sriharikota Island at 09:10 local time (05:40 Kyiv time).

Later, IRSO reported that the 469 kg satellite was launched into an orbit at an altitude of about 650 kilometers.

The main task of XPoSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite) is to measure the polarization of X-ray radiation from celestial bodies. The device will also study the structure of the magnetic field of neutron stars and the phenomenon of black hole formation.

Let’s recall that in October 2023, India launched a rocket for the first time as part of the Gaganyaan orbital mission. We are still talking about unmanned tests.

Also last year, India became the first country to land a spacecraft near the moon’s south pole after Russia’s attempt to land its Luna 25 probe at the same spot failed.
