(2) XPoSat : A satellite by ISRO to study blackholes

• It is a satellite which is owned and operated  by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization).
• The manufacturing organization of XPoSat is Raman Research Institute.
• The XPoSat acts as a space observatory to assist the study of polarization of cosmic X-rays.
• The launch of XPoSat is planned in 2022 on a SSLV (Small Satellite Launch Vehicle).
• It is expected to provide at least 5 years of service period.
• Hence, XPoSat is a satellite by ISRO, but not used to study blackholes.
