ISRO has launched its first-ever polarimetry mission, the X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat). This groundbreaking project aims to study the dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions. Launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 09:10am, the PSLV-C58 rocket, in its 60th mission, carried XPoSat and 10 other satellites into low earth orbits. This follows the achievement of its Gaganyaan Test Vehicle D1 mission in October.
