India's space astronomy observatory AstroSat was launched on 28 September 2015, carrying instruments to observe cosmic sources over a large spectral band, from optical/UV to hard X-rays. The mission, with all its payloads, has been operating successfully since its launch. After an initial period of performance verification and calibration, the satellite is now in full science operation. This article gives a brief introduction about the capabilities of the mission and presents some of the early science results.

Abstract


India's space astronomy observatory AstroSat was launched on 28 September 2015, carrying instruments to observe cosmic sources over a large spectral band, from optical/UV to hard X-rays. The mission, with all its payloads, has been operating successfully since its launch. After an initial period of performance verification and calibration, the satellite is now in full science operation. This article gives a brief introduction about the capabilities of the mission and presents some of the early science results.
