Scientific paper

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) is a Small Explorer mission that will carry the first focusing hard X-ray telescope into orbit. NuSTAR will provide a combination of spectral and spatial resolution, and sensitivity orders of magnitude improved over previous missions in the 6 - 80 keV band. The primary mission objectives include surveying regions of the extragalactic sky to make a census of obscured AGN, imaging young supernova remnants in the radioactive emission from 44Ti, surveying the Galactic center region, and performing target of opportunity followup of nearby Ia and core collapse supernovae. NuSTAR is scheduled to launch into an Equatorial low Earth orbit in August, 2011.
