Clearly the key characteristic of XEUS is the large aperture X-ray mirror. This can be best achieved by capitalizing on the successful XMM mirror technology and the industrial foundations which have been already laid in Europe for this program. The XMM mirror technology has placed European science at the forefront of high-energy astrophysics. Unlike XMM however, where a heavily nested mirror was fabricated from closed shells, the XEUS mirror aperture of 10 m diameter is divided into annuli with each annulus sub-divided into sectors.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - annulus

The satellite campaign preparing XMM for launch has entered its last straight run. The Combined Operations(POC) have begun with the fastening of the spacecraft onto the payload adapter. Umbilical and purge lines have been connected and electrical checkouts are continuing. Green and red tag items that have to be attended to before launch are being verified and the last remaining pieces of thermal insulation on the spacecraft have been refastened.  2, fiche 4, Anglais, - satellite%20campaign

A reflection grating spectrometer works in a very similar way an optical prism does by spreading the incoming light as a function of its different wavelength components. In fact, in the case of XMM, the reflection gratings are nothing more than mirrors with tiny grooves on them.... XMM is the first X-ray mission to fly a reflection grating and will identify lines of elements(like iron, oxygen, silicon, magnesium) common in astrophysical plasmas.  3, fiche 5, Anglais, - reflection%20grating%20spectrometer

Les données transmises par le spectromètre à grille de réflexion (RGS) permettront de mesurer les caractéristiques des gaz émettant des rayons X mous dans les étoiles chaudes ou provenant des mini-quasars. Ces résultats sont essentiels pour déterminer la relation entre flambées d'étoiles et mini-quasars.  2, fiche 5, Français, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20grille%20de%20r%C3%A9flexion

The Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched in July 1999. It will be taking x-ray pictures of the universe with unprecedented clarity. The European Space Agency will launch the X-ray Multi-Mirror(XMM) telescope, in early 200 which will have even bigger mirrors than Chandra.  1, fiche 7, Anglais, - X%2Dray%20Multi%2DMirror%20telescope
