X-Ray Vision: Exploring The Hidden Universe

Abstract:
NASA's goal in Astrophysics is to "Discover how the universe works, explore how it began and evolved, and search for life on planets around other stars." Addressing this ambitious goal requires a large astrophysics fleet that is capable of observing the universe in multiple wavelengths. This talk will focus on our ability to view X-rays emanating from some of the most extreme environments in space using full-shell grazing incidence optics flying on suborbital and space-based platforms.
