Background
FOXSI is a sounding rocket payload whose goal is to develop and apply hard x-ray focusing optics combined with solid-state detectors.
Observations
The Future?
Based on these successes, we are now considering how we would scale up the FOXSI sounding rocket to a satellite mission. Such a mission would allow us.
Conclusions
