Congress President Kharge Commends ISRO’s X-ray Polarimeter Satellite Success

Mallikarjun Kharge, the national president of Congress, extended congratulations to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the triumphant launch of the X-ray Polarimeter Satellite at the dawn of the New Year. The successful placement of the satellite into its designated orbit marked a stellar continuation of ISRO’s impressive space ventures from the previous year.

The flawless execution of the launch earned accolades as the latest achievement for ISRO, following the notable milestones of the lunar south pole landing and the inauguration of India’s premier solar mission, Aaditya L1, in the preceding year.

Expressing his elation, Kharge lauded the successful PSLV-C58/XPoSat Mission as India’s pioneering dedicated polarimetry mission aimed at exploring diverse dynamics within bright astronomical X-ray sources under extreme conditions. He praised the collaborative efforts of the scientists, space engineers, researchers, and ground staff involved in this endeavor.

Kharge also highlighted the integral participation of several women space scientists and engineers in the PSLV project, expressing pride in their contributions. Emphasizing the importance of such triumphs in fostering scientific temper among the populace, Kharge paid tribute to the visionary aspirations of India’s founding leaders.

ISRO’s Chief, S Somanath, lauded the precision of the PSLV-C58 vehicle, which precisely positioned the satellite into its intended 650 km orbit with a 6-degree inclination. He detailed the subsequent stages of the mission, including experiments with nine onboard payloads.

Somanath affirmed the exceptional quality of the orbit, with minimal deviation from the targeted parameters, highlighting the successful deployment of the satellite’s solar panel.

This successful launch comes on the heels of India’s significant milestones in 2023, particularly the Chandrayaan-3 lunar landing and the inauguration of the Aditya-L1 solar mission. These accomplishments have not only elevated India’s position in the global space realm but have also catalyzed advancements in the private space sector within the country.

With its sights set on ambitious future endeavors like the Gaganyaan Mission in 2024, the establishment of ‘Bharatiya Antariksha Station’ by 2035, and the first Indian lunar landing by 2040, India’s aspirations in space exploration continue to soar to new heights.
