- Launch Vehicle: PSLV – C58
- Significance: It is India’s first dedicated polarimetry mission
- Aim: It aims to investigate the polarization of intense X-ray sources.
- Orbit: Low Earth Orbit
- Tenure: 5 years
- The spacecraft will carry two scientific payloads in a low earth orbit.
- POLIX (Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays) – This will measure the polarimetry parameters (degree and angle of polarization) in a medium X-ray energy range of 8-30 keV for photons of astronomical origin.
- XSPECT (X-ray Spectroscopy and Timing) payload – It will give spectroscopic information in the energy range of 0.8-15 keV.
