The High Throughput X-ray Spectroscopy (HTXS) mission is dedicated to observations at high spectral resolution. The HXTS mission represented a major advanced, providing as much as a factor of 100 increase in sensitivity over currently planned high resolution X-ray spectroscopy missions. This X- ray equivalent of the Keck Telescope will mark the start of a new era when high quality X-ray spectral will be obtained for all classes of X-ray sources, over a wide range of luminosity and distance. With its increased capabilities, HTXS will address many fundamental astrophysics questions such as the origin and distribution of the elements from carbon to zinc, the formation and evolution of clusters of galaxies, the validity of general relativity in the strong gravity limit, the evolution of supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei, the details of supernova explosions and their aftermath, and the mechanisms involved in the heating of stellar coronae and driving of stellar winds.
