Today the Chandra and XMM-Newton satellites play an active part in X-ray astronomy. However, these satellites have a limited energy range of only up to 10 keV, and cannot observe in the astronomically interesting hard X-ray band above 10 keV. Nagoya University and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have collaborated to successfully develop a balloon-borne supermirror hard X-ray telescope called InFOCμS capable of astronomical imaging and spectroscopy above 10 keV. InFOCμS has successfully flown and obtained a hard X-ray image of Cyg X-1 in July 2001. This article explains the principle and performance of the InFOCμS hard X-ray mirror, the results of the first balloon flight, and prospects for future hard X-ray satellite missions.
