Description
The hot and energetic Universe has been selected by ESA as its next large
class mission with a scheduled launch date in 2028. This mission will have a large
collecting area (2 m2) with focussing optics and in the focal plane two interchangeable
instruments: a Si-based DEPFET detector which is optimised for its field of view
and its count rate capability. The second instrument is a cryogenic calorimeter array
which is optimised for its high spectral resolution. In this presentation we will describe the science and instrumentation of this challenging mission.
