Indian Space Research Organization has announced a plant to launch its first X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) to investigate the polarisation of intense X-ray sources.
The mission objectives include the measurement of X-ray polarisation in the energy band of 8-30 keV emanating from X-rax sources and long term spectral and temporal studies of cosmic X-ray sources in the energy band of 0,8-15 keV.
This mission live is expected to be approximately five years.
