The liftoff occurred at the scheduled time of 9:10 am from the first launch pad at the spaceport, located approximately 135 km east of Chennai, drawing thunderous applause from a large audience of spectators who had gathered for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) has a specific objective to study the polarization of intense X-ray sources in space. ISRO highlights that it marks the agency&#8217;s first dedicated scientific satellite designed to conduct research in space-based polarization measurements of X-ray emissions from celestial sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">X-Ray polarization serves as a vital diagnostic tool, providing valuable insights into the radiation mechanisms and geometry of celestial entities. The primary payload of XPoSat includes POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-Rays), designed for measuring polarimetry parameters by Raman Research Institute, and XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing), developed by the U R Rao Satellite Centre, Bengaluru. The mission&#8217;s expected lifespan is approximately five years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SRIHARIKOTA (ANDHRA PRADESH), Jan 1: ISRO achieved a milestone on Monday by successfully launching its inaugural X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite, opening up new avenues for gaining insights&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48680,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54,22],"tags":[1032,73,2125,1033,2931],"class_list":["post-48679","post","has-post-thumbnail","category-latest-news","category-national","tag-earlypostdaily","tag-india","tag-isro","tag-latestnews","tag-x-ray-polarimeter-satellite"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48679"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48679\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48681,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48679\/revisions\/48681"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
