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.
Following the achievements of Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya L-1, this mission is India's another significant step in space exploration.
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.
A second of its kind after NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), XPoSat will be launched on the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.
