U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), one of the premier centres of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is organizing an international conference on “A Decade of AstroSat Observations: Science Outcomes and Future Prospects” from January 30 – February 1, 2026, in Bengaluru, India.
AstroSat, India’s first multi-wavelength space observatory, has enabled scientists worldwide to probe exotic celestial objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, star clusters, and galaxies. Over the past decade, these observations have led to ground breaking discoveries, illuminating some of the most enigmatic and extreme environments in the Universe. With 2025 marking ten years of AstroSat’s successful operation in orbit, the mission continues to deliver high quality data from its suite of instruments.
This is the announcement of the conference, inviting registration and abstract submission. Further details can be found at the following links:
