The satellite from JAXA and NASA will get a front-row seat to high-energy events in the distant universe.
The first instrument on XRISM, a spectrometer for X-rays, is called Resolve. Each of the pixels in Resolve's 6-by-6-pixel detector can absorb a singular X-ray photon. The instrument's precise capability will let Resolve catalog up to millions of measurements in ultra-high resolution.
To do its mission, the instrument must be chilled to super-cold temperatures, near absolute zero. Resolve's housing sits in a special flask of liquid helium, which chills the instrument to around -460 degrees Fahrenheit . Resolve's field of view will be enlarged with a complimentary instrument called Xtend. Xtend will allow Resolve to capture images within an area wider than any previous X-ray imaging satellite — an area of the sky about 60 percent bigger than a full moon.
Both Resolve and Extend will use twin X-ray mirror assemblies developed at Goddard, nearby Baltimore.
