AstroSat

AstroSat is India's first dedicated space observatory designed to study the universe through various forms of light, including X-rays, ultraviolet, and optical wavelengths. Launched in 2015, it helps scientists explore celestial objects like stars, galaxies, and black holes by capturing high-energy and ultraviolet signals from space. By functioning in multiple wavelengths simultaneously, AstroSat provides a comprehensive view of cosmic phenomena, advancing our understanding of the universe's physics and evolution. It's a significant step in space science, enabling India to contribute actively to global astronomical research.
