论文摘要
印度在太空天文学领域达到了一个重要的里程碑，其首次太空天文台的成功发射和发出后的作业Astrosat。必须有效地利用该太空天文台和所学的经验教训的成功来扩大国际舞台上印度太空天文学的占地面积。为了回应印度太空研究组织提出建议的呼吁，该组织是针对下一代紫外线任务的详细提议，提交了印度光谱和成像太空望远镜（SISIST）。将大型焦点区域与简单有效的光学设计相结合，坚持认为有望产生HST质量成像和天文来源的中等分辨率光谱。该任务的主要科学驱动力涵盖了广泛的主题，从分组和群集的发展开始，附近宇宙的化学动力学和人口统计学，具有积聚的恒星系统到具有行星系统的星星，到近距离宇宙学。该提案被授予种子资金，并完成了两年的项目前阶段。此处介绍了此拟议的任务的概述以及当前状态。
India reached a major milestone in the area of space astronomy with the successful launch and post-launch operations of its first space observatory, AstroSat. The success of this space observatory and the lessons learned must be utilized effectively to enlarge the footprint of Indian space astronomy in the international scene. In response to a call for proposals by the Indian Space Research Organisation, a detailed proposal for a next generation UV-optical mission, the INdian Spectroscopic and Imaging Space Telescope (INSIST) was submitted. Combining a large focal area with a simple and efficient optical design, INSIST is expected to produce HST-quality imaging and moderate resolution spectra of astronomical sources. The main science drivers for this mission span a wide range of topics, starting from evolution of galaxies in groups and clusters, chemo-dynamics and demographics of the nearby universe, stellar systems with accretions, to stars with planetary systems, to cosmology near and far. The proposal was awarded seed funding and has completed two years of pre-project phase. An overview of this proposed mission is presented here along with the current status.
