The Constellation-X mission is a large collecting-area X-ray facility emphasizing observations at high spectral resolution (E/"Δ E" ~300--3000) while covering a broad energy band (0.25--40 keV). By increasing the telescope aperture and utilizing efficient spectrometers, the mission will achieve a factor of 100 increased sensitivity over current high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy missions. The use of focusing optics across the 10--40 keV band will provide a similar factor of 100 increased sensitivity in this band. When observations commence in ~2008, Constellation-X will address many pressing questions concerning the extremes of gravity and the evolution of the Universe.
