Abstract:
ASTROSAT is an X-ray and UV observatory that is planned to
be launched in 2006 A.D. It will cover the entire X-ray spectral hand from 0.3
to 150 keY in one mission, with simultaneous UV observations in the 1350 -
3000 A. A Scanning Survey Monitor will look for transient X-ray sources in
the Sky. ASTROSAT will thus be a unique mission in the time frame of 2006
- 2010 A.D.
