The rockets were launched from the spaceport on Sriharikota island in the Bay of Bengal, where the Satish Dhawan Space Center is located.
XPoSat is stated to be ISRO’s first dedicated scientific instrument designed for research in the field of space measurements of X-ray studies of celestial bodies. The satellite is equipped with POLIX (X-ray Polarimetry for Astronomy) and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing Instrument).
India became the second country after the USA to have a station to study black holes and neutron stars. The equipment installed on the PSLV-C58 rocket will allow 10 more scientific experiments to be carried out.
India successfully in September 2023 spent The fourth phase of the Aditya-L1 robotic space station’s mission to explore the Sun.
The mission was launched using a PSLV polar satellite launch vehicle in XL configuration with six external engines. This configuration was first used during the launch of India’s first lunar probe, Chandrayaan-1, in October 2008.
