NASA's New X-Ray Telescope Is A Revolution in Astronomy and Launch Profiles
NASA's new Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer spacecraft is a tiny satellite with the unique ability to capture images in X-ray with polarization and timing information for every photon captured. It's designed to operate for 2 years and capture new scientific measurements of some of the most extreme places in the universe with gravitational and magnetic fields that would destroy ordinary matter.
And in an interesting turn of events the satellite switched from the intended launch vehicle to a cheaper option that nobody considered - the Falcon 9. This is the first time we've seen a rocket lauched from a domestic US launch site perform such a large plane change maneuver to reach a target orbit. SpaceX normally launch satellites 10 times more massive, but this tiny satellite opened up new opt...

Meet NASA’s Newest Set of X-ray Eyes on the Universe
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer mission is set to launch Dec. 9 on a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In space, IXPE will explore the leftovers of exploded stars, black holes, and more by looking at a special property of light called polarization.

New X-ray telescope XRISM is going to launch to study the cosmic violence
JAXA-led new X-ray space telescope XRISM is going to launch soon to study cosmic violent events. X-rays are emitted by extremely hot and energetic objects, such as colliding gas between galaxies. XRISM stands for “X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission”. The X-ray calorimeter, a device that measures X-ray photon energies by detecting temperature changes, will enable astronomers to identify the chemical elements in various astrophysical phenomena. It can also study large objects, such as galaxy clusters and supernova remnants, beyond pointlike sources. XRISM studies super-hot gas envelopes around galaxy clusters using X-rays. How galaxies are shaped by violent outbursts from monster black holes at their centers, how different chemical elements are distributed in the universe, and the histo...

The Telescope That Revealed the X-Ray Universe
Some of the most exciting phenomena in space can’t be seen from Earth because our atmosphere soaks up high-energy light. That’s why NASA built Chandra, the most powerful X-ray telescope ever launched, and the observatory has helped scientists make major discoveries about high-energy events in space, including the processes surrounding the birth and death of stars!
And the Chandra is our pin of the month! Order yours before the end of September: https://store.dftba.com/collections/complexly/products/scishow-pin-of-the-month-chandra-x-ray-observatory-september

"Lobsters" in space - new x-ray telescopes + first 3 missions (Longxia Yan 1, SVOM, SMILE)
Reporting on a new type of space-based x-ray telescope based on the type of eye of the humble lobster (the Nephropidae family). This type of optic is now beginning to be launched to space to advance our knowledge of astrophysics. I also mention the Longxia Yan 1, SVOM and SMILE space missions, which use this type of optic.

Japan launches moon lander and X-ray space telescope on same rocket
Japan has launched two ambitious space missions on a single rocket, aiming to land a craft on the moon and position a separate X-ray telescope in Earth orbit.
The Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) will, if successful, make Japan only the fifth country after the US, the Soviet Union, China and India to make a soft landing on the moon. It has been nicknamed “Moon Sniper” by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) because it is designed to use a host of sensors and cameras to make a highly accurate landing within a circle with a radius of just 100 metres.

Japan launches moon lander and X-ray space telescope on same rocket

Japan has launched two ambitious space missions on a single rocket, aiming to land a craft on the moon and position a separate X-ray telescope in Earth orbit.
The Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) will, if successful, make Japan only the fifth country after the US, the Soviet Union, China and India to make a soft landing on the moon. It has been nicknamed “Moon Sniper” by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) because it is designed to use a host of sensors and cameras to make a highly accurate landing within a circle with a radius of just 100 metres.
