IRS-P3 was launched by PSLV in Mar 1996. Mass of the satellite was 922 kg. As well as the remote sensing instruments, it carried an X-ray astronomy payload. Three proportional counters studied variable X-ray sources in the 2-18 keV band. The first reported results were measurements of the X-ray pulsar GX1+4 and the superluminal transient GRS 1915+105.
