The ASTRO-H project

Hironori Mastumoto (Nagoya University)

The ASTRO-H mission is developed by an international collaboration led by ISAS/JAXA, and the satellite will be launched in 2015. ASTRO-H covers a wide energy band from 0.3 to 600keV and provides high energy-resolution X-ray spectroscopy in the 0.3-12 keV band. ASTRO-H will open a new frontier of high-energy astrophysics with high-resolution, high-throughput spectroscopy with moderate angular resolution.
