ESA Science & Technology - NASA IXO Facility Science Team Meeting

Start date: 21 Aug 2008
Address: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, United States

ESA, JAXA and NASA recently announced their intention to perform a joint study of a new large X-ray astronomy mission, the International X-ray Observatory (IXO). This supercedes the previous XEUS and Constellation-X studies being performed separately by the agencies, with the intention to make a common submission to ESA's Cosmic Vision downselection, and NASA's decadal survey.
