This is the name of their satellite including more information on their plans for it:
“ASTROSAT is a quantum leap from previous modest-sized payloads on other Indian satellites,” said Prahlad Agrawal, a professor with TIFR, in a press release.
The satellite’s primary objectives are to study binary star systems containing neutron stars and black holes, estimate the magnetic fields of neutron stars, and study star birth regions and high-energy processes in systems beyond our galaxy. ASTROSAT will also detect new x-ray sources in the sky and perform a limited deep field survey of the Universe in ultraviolet.
The more countries that get involved with space study and exploration, the more we will learn!
Congrats and we’re looking forward to seeing the first pics from ASTROSAT.
