This paper briefly describes the Constellation-X mission, giving its basic performance parameters such as effective area and spectral resolution, describes some example science that may be conducted, and gives a general update on the mission, due for launch in 2016. Constellation-X is one of the two flagship missions for the Beyond Einstein programand was designated as a high priority, second only to JWST, in the large space observatories category of the most recent National Academy decadal. Constellation-X will present a great improvement in spectroscopic sensitivity, enabling studies at sensitivities more than 100 times greater than the best high-resolution spectrometers observing in the 0.25-10 keV band during the current decade. The spectral resolution, R = E/ΔE, will range from 300 to 3000.
