  • Astrosat-A Multi-Wavelength Astronomy Satellite
    AstroSat − a multi-wavelength astronomy satellite A. R. Rao, K. P. Singh Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India D. Bhattacharya Inter University Center for Astronomy & Astrophysics, Pune, India September 4, 2018 Abstract AstroSat is a multi-wavelength astronomy satellite, launched on 2015 September 28. It carries a suite of scientific instruments for multi-wavelength observations of astronomical sources. It is a major Indian effort in space astronomy and the context of AstroSat is examined in a historical perspective. The Performance Verification phase of AstroSat has been completed and all instruments are working flawlessly and as planned. Some brief highlights of the scientific results are also given here. keywords: Astronomy: general, Astronomy: instrumentation 1 Introduction AstroSat, India's first dedicated astronomy satellite, was launched on 2015 September 28. It was the 30th successful launch of India's workhorse rocket, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). The satellite was placed precisely in a near-Earth orbit of 650 km at 6◦ inclination, thus saving the onboard fuel meant for orbit correction for any future eventualities and ensuring a very long arXiv:1608.06051v1 [astro-ph.IM] 22 Aug 2016 orbital life for the satellite. AstroSat, weighing 1550 kg, carries a suite of scientific instruments for multi-wavelength observations of astronomical sources (Singh et al. 2014). Within six months of operation, the Performance Verification phase has been completed and a very complex satellite like AstroSat is working flawlessly

    WORLD SPACECRAFT DIGEST by Jos Heyman 2013 Version: 1 January 2014 © Copyright Jos Heyman The spacecraft are listed, in the first instance, in the order of their International Designation, resulting in, with some exceptions, a date order. Spacecraft which did not receive an International Designation, being those spacecraft which failed to achieve orbit or those which were placed in a sub orbital trajectory, have been inserted in the date order. For each spacecraft the following information is provided: a. International Designation and NORAD number For each spacecraft the International Designation, as allocated by the International Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), has been used as the primary means to identify the spacecraft. This is followed by the NORAD catalogue number which has been assigned to each object in space, including debris etc., in a numerical sequence, rather than a chronoligical sequence. Normally no reference has been made to spent launch vehicles, capsules ejected by the spacecraft or fragments except where such have a unique identification which warrants consideration as a separate spacecraft or in other circumstances which warrants their mention. b. Name The most common name of the spacecraft has been quoted. In some cases, such as for US military spacecraft, the name may have been deduced from published information and may not necessarily be the official name. Alternative names have, however, been mentioned in the description and have also been included in the index. c. Country/International Agency For each spacecraft the name of the country or international agency which owned or had prime responsibility for the spacecraft, or in which the owner resided, has been included.

Savanov1 • A. Shugarov1 • S. Sichevskii1 Abstract The ultraviolet (UV) astronomy is a very described in detail in previous publications, and this demanded branch of space astronomy. Many dozens of paper updates the main characteristics of its instru- short-term UV-experiments in space, as well as long- ments and the current state of the whole project. It term observatories, have brought a very important also addresses the major science topics that have been knowledge on the physics and chemistry of the Uni- included in the core program of the WSO-UV, making verse during the last decades. Unfortunately, no large this core program very relevant to the current state of UV-observatories are planned to be launched by most the UV-astronomy. Finally, we also present here the of space agencies in the coming 10 – 15 years. Con- ground segment architecture that will implement this versely, the large UVOIR observatories of the future program. will appear not earlier than in 2030s. This paper briefly describes the projects that have been proposed by var- Keywords space vehicles, space vehicles: instruments, ious groups. We conclude that the World Space Obser- instrumentation: spectrographs, ultraviolet: general, vatory – Ultraviolet (WSO-UV) will be the only 2-m ultraviolet: stars, ultraviolet: planetary systems, ul- class UV telescope with capabilities similar to those of traviolet: ISM, ultraviolet: galaxies the HST for the next decade.
