The radiation mechanism of collimated plasma outflows (jets) from active galactic nuclei are still far from beeing understood. Especially the X-ray emission reported from jets raises questions on the nature of the acceleration mechanism and the radiation process at work. Recently, X-ray emission from the jet/hotspot region of 3C 390.3 was reported. This is for the first time an X-ray source which is close to the hotspot of a jet. We propose to observe the hotspot/jet source with AXAF for 35 ksec in order to obtain the X-ray spectrum and to map the extended structure indicated by the ROSAT HRI. We would like to identify the source and distinguish several possible scenarios of its nature.
