After US, India second country to send dedicated satellite to study black holes

继美国之后，印度成为第二个发射专用卫星研究黑洞的国家

SRIHARIKOTA: Isro ushered in the New Year with the successful launch of XPoSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite), India's first satellite to conduct research on black holes and other celestial objects.

印度空间研究组织(Isro)成功发射XPoSat （X-射线偏振计卫星），开启了新的一年，XPoSat是印度第一颗用于研究黑洞和其他天体的卫星。

Workhorse PSLV placed the satellite on its 60th flight in a 650km orbit. The final stage of PSLV-C58 then turned into an orbital experimental module (POEM) to test the 10 payloads over the next month.

PSLV运载火箭在650公里的轨道上进行了第60次飞行。PSLV-C58的最后一级随后变成轨道实验舱(POEM)，在接下来的一个月测试10个有效载荷。

Around 22 minutes after the lift-off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, the rocket injected XPoSat. The rocket went through at least two coasting phases -- when the engines were not fired -- to place the satellite with a 6-degree inclination.

在斯里赫里戈达的萨蒂什·达万航天中心升空约22分钟后，火箭将XPoSat射入轨道。火箭至少经历了两个滑行阶段——在发动机未点火的情况下——以6度倾角投放卫星。

XPoSat will carry out studies of X-rays emitted by celestial objects like black holes, neutron stars and galactic nuclei. It carries two payloads --- Polix (Polarimeter Instrument in X-rays) by Raman Research Institute and Xspect (X-ray spectroscopy and timing) by Space Astronomy Group of URSC.

XPoSat将对黑洞、中子星和星系核等天体发出的X-射线进行研究。它携带两个有效载荷——拉曼研究所的Polix (X射线偏振计仪器)和URSC空间天文小组的Xspect (X射线光谱和时序)。

PM Narendra Modi hailed the launch. "A great start to 2024 thanks to our scientists! This launch is wonderful news for the space sector and will enhance India's prowess in this field. Best wishes to our scientists at @isro and the entire space fraternity in taking India to unprecedented heights," Modi tweeted.

印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪对此次发射表示祝贺。“多亏了我们的科学家，2024年有了一个良好的开端！这次发射对航天部门来说是个好消息，将增强印度在这一领域的实力。向印度空间研究组织的科学家和全体成员致以最美好的祝愿，希望他们把印度带到前所未有的高度。”

Isro chairman S Somanath described the launch as a "New Year gift to all of us". "The satellite is unique. It complements the scientific objective we have set for various observations of the universe. It goes with Astrosat and Aditya-L1," Somanath said.

Isro主席S Somanath称此次发射是“送给我们所有人的新年礼物。这颗卫星是独一无二的。它补充了我们为各种宇宙观测所设定的科学目标。它与Astrosat和Aditya-L1一起运行。”

印度空间研究组织是由政治科学家建立的。中国也有这样的机构。他们找了一些半桶水的科学家，浪费国家的钱。

It's good to progress as far as space and technology are concerned. But honestly, on priority we need to study and do something substantial about black money rather than black holes.

太空技术取得进步，这是一件好事。但老实说，我们首先需要研究并做一些实质性的事情，而不是直奔黑洞。

Bharat just needed the right leadership to catch up with and overtake the best! ISRO is the pride of Bharat!

India is competing in every area. Now question is , who want or like the competition.

印度在各个领域都在竞争。现在的问题是，谁想要或者喜欢这种竞争?

Kudos to entire team of ISRO!! You are making Bharat proud. And this is the reason West don't want Bharat to progress and trying to pull our legs ... mainly US and Canada!

向ISRO的整个团队致敬！你让印度感到骄傲。这就是为什么西方不希望印度进步，并试图阻拦我们，主要是美国和加拿大

This is waste of money. What are you going to do by knowing about black holes on Sun. This is for Modi's vanity.

这是浪费钱。知道了太阳上的黑洞，你能做什么？这是为了满足莫迪的虚荣心。

Way to go Indian Scientists. So called brain drain of IITians and IIMians has not depleted our talent pool. These achievements are by our minds who are left behind after so called brain drain

干得好，印度科学家。所谓的印度理工学院和印度理工学院的人才流失并没有耗尽我们的人才库。人才流失后，我们仍然取得了这些成就。

Kldas

IITians run for green pastures as soon they complete their studies. They don’t come back and help the country. So much taxpayers money is spent in educating them.

印度理工学院的学生一完成学业就奔向国外寻找前程。他们不会回来帮助这个国家。那么多纳税人的钱花在了教育他们上。

Mera Bharat Mahan

I'm a true Bhartiya but seriously, isn't this money going for waste...We have already sent two rockets to the moon and no one in Bharat was bennefited except for 10 minutes of fame and to keep ISRO on payroll..

我是真正的印度人，但说真的，这不是浪费钱吗？我们已经向月球发射了两枚火箭，除了10分钟的名气和给ISRO发工资外，没有人从中受益。

Expanding ISRO’s operations is a major achievement for the nation. Earlier budgets were compromised and there were not so many satellites being launched. Today, ISRO is launching satellites for several allied nations. Most importantly, while NASA and ISRO have a serious competition, NASA staff appreciate ISRO for several feats as well.

扩大ISRO的业务是印度的一项重大成就。早先的预算受到了影响，发射的卫星也没有那么多。今天，ISRO正在为几个盟国发射卫星。最重要的是，虽然NASA和ISRO有激烈的竞争，但NASA的工作人员也很欣赏ISRO的几项壮举。
