(CXO, Chandra, AXAF, Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility)
(space X-ray telescope)
Chandra X-ray Observatory (Chandra or CXO,
earlier called the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility or AXAF) is an
X-ray observing satellite launched 1999 and still
operating in 2024.
Instruments (the SIM, i.e., Science Instrument Module):
Chandra projects to carry out lengthy X-ray observation of
objects have been labeled X-ray Visionary Projects (XVPs).
