AstroSat is the first dedicated astronomy mission of India aimed at simultaneous multi-wavelength observations of celestial sources in X-ray, ultraviolet and limited optical spectral bands. The satellite was launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota on 28 September 2015 by PSLV-C30 (XL) in its 30th consecutive successful flight. The satellite was placed in an orbit with an altitude of 650 km and 6 orbital inclination. Currently, all the payloads are operational and observations are underway. The mission life is expected to be 5 years.Keywords
