ISRO Opens Access to XPoSat’s 143 GB Dataset for Astronomers and Researchers
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has delivered data from its XPoSat mission to the scientific community at a national meeting this week. The event, held at ISRO Headquarters in Bengaluru, is a significant step towards increasing access to space-based research.
XPoSat, launched on January 1, 2024, aboard the PSLV-C58 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, is India’s first dedicated X-ray polarimetry mission in a low Earth orbit of about 650 kilometres. The observatory has two scientific payloads: POLIX, developed by the Raman Research Institute, and XSPECT, built by the U R Rao Satellite Centre.
ISRO Chairman Dr V. Narayanan released the first dataset, which was roughly 143 GB in size, as well as analysis tools, in front of astronomers, academics and students. The meeting attracted over 175 attendees from across India, including representatives from 15 academic and research institutions.
Officials emphasised XPoSat’s role in combining X-ray timing, spectroscopy, and polarisation to investigate cosmic sources. The Indian Space Science Data Centre (ISSDC) provides researchers with the data and resources they need to explore new frontiers in space science and improve India’s scientific contributions around the world.
