XPoSat will be launched at 9:10 am on January 1, 2024 (Representational)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up for its first space mission of 2024 with the launch of the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) on January 1.<\/p>\n

Following the achievements of Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya L-1, this mission is India’s another significant step in space exploration.<\/p>\n

Once launched, India will become the second country in the world to send a specialised astronomy observatory aimed at studying black holes and neutron stars.<\/p>\n

A second of its kind after NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), XPoSat <\/a>will be launched on the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.<\/p>\n

When to watch XPoSat launch?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ISRO will launch XPoSat at 9:10 AM on January 1 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n

Where to watch the XPoSat launch?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The launch of XPoSat will be streamed live on various social media channels. The historic event can be watched on\u00a0ISRO’s official website<\/a>,\u00a0ISRO’s YouTube channel<\/a>\u00a0and Facebook page.<\/p>\n

Apart from the official pages of ISRO, you can catch the live coverage on DD National TV channel. The live telecast of the launch will be available on NDTV 24X7.<\/p>\n

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter, ISRO wrote, \u201cThe launch of the X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) is set for January 1, 2024, at 09:10 Hrs. IST from the first launch-pad, SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota.\u201d<\/p>\n

XPoSat Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

ISRO aims to launch XPoSat into an eastward low-inclination orbit. The PSLV-C58 will also carry the ‘PSLV Orbital Experimental Module’, or POEM.<\/p>\n

An astrophysicist at the IIT Bombay, Dr Varun Bhalerao<\/a> informed that through this mission, the ISRO aims to \u201cdecipher the stellar remnants or corpses of dead stars\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dr Varun Bhalerao said, \u201cThis is only the second mission of its sophisticated class after NASA’s 2021 mission named Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer or IXPE. The mission will try to decipher the stellar remnants or corpses of dead stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

XPoSat will use X-ray photons and their polarisation to study the radiation near black holes and neutron stars.<\/p>\n

India’s third launch in less than a year will also unravel the mysteries of the ultra-extreme environments that one sees in space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
