AXIS
(Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite)
(concept for space X-ray observatory)
AXIS is a plan for a NASA X-ray
survey satellite,
aiming to image the celestial sphere
on the order of 0.5 arcsecond
angular resolution, covering roughly
0.1-16 keV (soft into mid X-rays),
generally more sensitive than Chandra X-ray Observatory.
The plan is for an early-2030s launch.
