More information about EXPO SAT..
EXPO SAT transmits information about India’s space-based X-ray astronomy. It is said that this will be the beginning of a sensational progress in this field. ISRO says it will mainly focus on imaging, time-domain studies and spectroscopy. Although similar satellites have been sent into space in the past, unlike those missions, it is said that X-ray will introduce a new dimension to astronomy. Scientists say EXPOSAT aims to explore X-ray sources. This satellite will be launched at a height of 650 km above the earth’s surface.
60th experiment..
So far 59 PSLV experiments have been conducted. The 60th launch will be held on January 1. So far the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle experiments have been successful for PSLV. This year too, ISRO is starting experiments with PSLV on the first day. Indian scientists are confident that this too will be successful. The launch will be carried out by PSLV C-58 rocket.
