The XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) observatory, led by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in collaboration with NASA, released a preview of the data it will collect upon commencement of science operations later this year. The mission has two instruments, Resolve and Xtend, each at the focus of an X-ray Mirror Assembly designed and built at Goddard. Resolve is a microcalorimeter spectrometer developed by NASA and JAXA. It operates at just a fraction of a degree above absolute zero inside a refrigerator-sized container of liquid helium.
