The X-Ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) aboard PSLV's 60th flight is successfully launched from the first launch pad SDSC-SHAR, Sriharokota, on the first day of the New Year.

According to Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), PSLV-C58 vehicle placed the satellite precisely into the intended orbit of 650 km with 6-degree inclination.

After injection of XPoSat, the PS4 stage will be re-started to reduce the orbit into 350 km circular orbit to maintain in 3-axis stabilized mode for Orbital Platform (OP) experiments, the ISRO informed in a statement.
