Artists conception of the future X-ray Observatory "Generation-X". In the
background are images X-ray from the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
Generation-X is planned to be able to take 10 times finer-grained images, and
to have over a 100 times larger mirror so that exposures now taking a day with
Chandra, can become few minute snapshots; in that way Generation-X can look far
deeper into the universe than Chandra. Developing the mirrors and instruments
for this NASA Vision Mission are challenges being undertaken by the CfA CXT, in
collaboration with our partners.
