Abstract : AstroSat is ISRO's first multi-wavelength observatory class satellite dedicated for astronomy. AstroSat carries a total of five scientific payloads covering a broad energy range from UV to high energy X-rays. Four of the five payloads onboard AstroSat are co-aligned and capable of simultaneous measurements from UV to X-ray bands. AstroSat is operated as a proposal based observatory and has recently completed its designed life of five years. In this talk, I will be talking about various processes involved in AstroSat mission operations, from proposal submission, selection, observation planning to final data dissemination to the proposers.
