Announcements

  • Launch Date

The launch has been delayed by ISRO to probably October 2009.

The First Call for Proposals was sent out to the Indian Scientific Community in 2005. This was mostly the invitation for the letters of intent. We received good response, and working groups were created to consider the science areas.

This Letter announces the forthcoming launch of TAUVEX Observatory and addresses the scientific community soliciting the Letters of Intent for observations with TAUVEX

The first version (pre-ground calibrations) of this document is ready. For the latest news, please, check the Science Schedule below, which is being regularly updated.
