We propose to observe M82, the exemplar of starburst and superwind activity, with a mosaic of deep ACIS-S observations that will cover the starburst region, the galactic disk and much of the extended superwind. The region of highest resolution (FWHM < 1.5") will cover the same field of view as recent deep HST and Spitzer observations. It will be the most data-rich X-ray study of a starburst galaxy ever (>1E6 counts), and will greatly advance our knowledge of the soft X-ray-emitting gas in the superwind, the very hot metal-enriched plasma within the starburst region, and the the X-ray point source population in both the starburst region and the galactic disk. It will further complement the investment made in observing M82 by the other Great Observatories, Hubble and Spitzer.
