XPoSat set to revolutionize x-ray astronomy: Isro

India is on the verge of a groundbreaking leap in space-based X-Ray astronomy with the imminent launch of the first X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat), Isro said Thursday. Unlike previous missions that focused predominantly on imaging, time-domain studies, and spectroscopy, XPoSat aims to explore the polarisation of intense X-Ray sources, introducing a novel dimension to X-Ray astronomy, the space agency said in a special page created for the mission.
