Isro to begin New Year with XPoSat launch; 10 other payloads to go on POEM

IndiaTimes Friday, 29 December 2023
Isro is preparing to launch the X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) on January 1, 2024. XPoSat aims to explore the polarisation of intense X-Ray sources and will carry two scientific payloads: POLIX and XSPECT. The mission's objectives include measuring X-Ray polarisation and conducting long-term spectral and temporal studies of cosmic X-Ray sources. XPoSat's significance lies in its ability to act as a diagnostic tool for examining the radiation mechanism and geometry of celestial sources. Additionally, the PSLV will carry 10 more instruments to space, including the Radiation Shielding Experimental Module (RSEM), Women Engineered Satellite (WESAT) and more.
