Scanning Sky Monitor (SSM) on-board AstroSat is a wide-field imager to monitor the X-ray sky in the energy band 2.5-10 keV. The primary science objective of SSM is to detect and locate transient X-ray sources in the sky. Once detected the information is to be provided to the astronomical community for follow-up observations to do a more detailed study of the source. Long-term monitoring of known X-ray transient sources is also one of the science objectives of SSM. The instrument constitutes three units of 1D positionsensitive propotional counters with coded masks on each, all three mounted on a platform capable of rotation to scan about 50% of the sky in one full rotation. The angular resolution of each unit in SSM is 12' x 2.5°. Sensitivity of SSM is ~30 milliCrab at 3 sigma in 10 min integration time. This article briefly discusses the instrument and a few early results since the launch of AstroSat.Keywords

Chandrayaan-2 Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS) is an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer experiment aimed at mapping the abundances of major rock-forming elements on the lunar surface. The instrument consists of swept charge devices with a passive collimator, visible light blocking filters and signal processing electronics designed and built at U.R. Rao Satellite Centre, Indian Space Research Organisation. CLASS will be the largest collecting area spectrometer flown to the Moon, and thus is expected to map the abundances of lunar elements with a higher sensitivity than ever at soft X-ray energies.Keywords
