The high throughput X-ray astronomical spectroscopy observatory, called the X-ray Multi-Mirror mission (XMM) is an array of telescopes providing the required sensitivity to perform detailed spectral diagnostics on many classes of objects, particularly those with low surface brightness. Such investigations are important for studying the evolution of large and small scale structures of the Universe. The XMM also allows simultaneous observations of spatial, spectral, and temporal properties of many classes of astronomical targets, and unambiguous physical interpretation of the observed phenomena. The XMM is Europe's cornerstone mission in X-ray astronomy and complements NASA's AXAF mission, which pursues ultimate imaging capability as its main objective.
