Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is a space telescope under development by NASA for launch in 2032.[1] It is a NASA Probe mission concept designed for high angular resolution X-Ray imaging.[2] The mission goals are to examine galaxies over cosmic time, feedblack in galaxies, Black Hole strong gravity, Dual AGN, the high redshift universe.
History[edit]
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS), a response to NASA's Astrophysics Probe Explorer (APEX) program.
Instruments[edit]
The X-ray grazing incident mirror would be developed by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and combines 10,000 mirror segments made from silicon, grouped into 10 shells. The detector is an array of CCDs giving a field of view of about 15 arcminutes.
