Washington, July 18 (Ians) A new space mission led by the Jaxa (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), aims to probe high-energy light into the equivalent of an X-ray rainbow.
The satellite called Xrism is scheduled to launch from Japan’s Tanegashima Space Center on August 25.
Xrism’s instrument called Resolve will probe the high-energy light.
“Resolve will give us a new look into some of the universe’s most energetic objects, including black holes, clusters of galaxies, and the aftermath of stellar explosions,” said Richard Kelley, NASA’s Xrism principal investigator at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in a statement.
“We’ll learn more about how they behave and what they’re made of using the data the mission collects after launch,” Kelley added.
Resolve is an X-ray microcalorimeter spectrometer instrument collaboration between NASA and Jaxa. It measures tiny temperature changes created when an X-ray hits its 6-by-6-pixel detector.
