Explanation:

The Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT), named "Insight", is China’s first X-ray astronomy satellite.
There are three main payloads onboard Insight-HXMT, the high energy X-ray telescope (20-250 keV, 5100 cm2), the medium energy X-ray telescope (5-30 keV, 952 cm2), and the low energy X-ray telescope (1-15 keV, 384 cm2).
The main scientific objectives of Insight-HXMT are:
•to scan the Galactic Plane to find new transient sources and to monitor the known variable sources
•to observe X-ray binaries to study the dynamics and emission mechanism in strong gravitational or magnetic fields
•to find and study gamma-ray bursts with its anti-coincidence CsI detectors.
It was launched to observe black holes, neutron stars, active galactic nuclei and other phenomena based on their X-ray and gamma-ray emissions.
