Giant leap for ISRO

The Hindu  

A.S. KIRAN KUMAR, Chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation, and Secretary, Department of Space, is a calm and soft-spoken person. A Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-XL is to put Astrosat into orbit from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota on September 28, 2015. Astrosat is a unique satellite because it will make observations in different wavelengths from a common platform,” said Kiran Kumar. One different aspect of this satellite compared with other satellites is that it has got a far ultra-violet wavelength telescope, which requires very stringent control of contamination. If you want to cover wavelengths from the far UV to the visible —the entire wavelength region—simultaneously, there are trade-offs in the coatings that are required on the mirrors, their efficiencies, etc.
