Astrosat

ASTROSAT is capable of observing the universe in all its raw form and recently it captured an image of a special galaxy cluster, more than 800 million light-years away.

ASTROSAT is India's maiden multi-wavelength space mission to study the cosmos! and was launched on September 28, 2015 on board ISRO's PSLV-C30 mission.

Thanks to the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope on board the space observatory, ASTROSAT has successfully solved a puzzle that had left scientists the world over stumped for decades; the puzzle of the red star in cluster NGC 188

India's first multi-wavelength space observatory, ASTROSAT, was launched into a 650 km orbit on Sept. 28, 2015, by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The satellite has started its work and has begun to capture images well. The first light image by ASTROSAT is already here – find out what it looks like.

ISRO has successfully launched India's first dedicated multi wavelength space observatory - ASTROSAT, which is meant to observe distant celestial objects and to gain a more detailed understanding of our universe.

The reusable satellite launch vehicle will take off like an airplane and thereafter will fall by gliding and splashing down into the sea. The technology will bring down the cost of a satellite launch to one-tenth. Here are 10 interesting facts about the amazing technology.

ISRO plans to launch India's astronomy mission in October 2015. The satellite named Astrosat will study distant celestial objects. This mission, if successful, with take India into an elite club; as only the 5th country to launch such a mission.
